***Stay Or Leave Guitar Tab Inside*** (UPDATED!!!)

[gcom007]

Well, this is what I just pulled out...not really a hard tune, and it's funny how right off the bat it reminded me of You Never Know, and I'd say it's a safe bet that it's played in raised B tuning...maybe, could be way off, but atleast it works...if this song's in standard I'm gonna crack up...anyways...

Dave Matthews - Stay Or Leave
Transcribed by Elliot Kleinfelder


Note: Dave most likely used the "You Never Know" raised B guitar to play this, but I'm just
speculating on that...this could be way, way, way off...but for the lay person...

CAPO AT 7TH FRET!!!!

now that you've done that...

is this a new song? i dont think ive ever heard it

first time played = 3-26-03

[Brock]

Any thoughts on whether this is going to be an only-D+T song and possibly on the studio cd or whether it's gonna be another Bartender?

[Xoosh]

it's definitely in a differnet tuning, dave got a differnet guitar for it.

[MattyTrane]

I really think this is a beautiful song....and id like to point out that im still alive!

[WyoJLH]

I just got back from two dave and tim shows, the one at miami and central michigan universities...I love this new song, its amazing live. I watched dave play, and its definitly in B tuning as xoosh mentioned, he changed guitars. In addition, on the part where he says "i remember we used to dance", he slides up to about the 9th fret...from what i could tell it almost looked like the chord used in say goodbye, the second chord in the proggression...ANyways, i just thought id let you all know what i saw...besides that the tab done here is pretty damn accurate...especially doing it by ear.
