as a result of my last posting of *say goodbye* i got a lovely little flame
from someone claiming they were from dave's front office, all pissy about
the details of the posting. as i don't want to come across as a *loser poser*
as he pointed out that i most certainly did, let me make all the standard
disclaimers that i simply assumed last time. (1) for those who were unaware
(?), dave plays live and his lyrics and tab changes by the evening. this is
NOT the definitive version of the song (Texts of songs ). (2) dave's great talent is in
improvisation, so play around with what you see below. try open chords, try
standard chords, barre chords, pick parts, strum parts... anything. chances
are he's played it that way at least one night.

Frot ( тексты песен и аккорды на ficd.ru ): Stephanie Barnett
Subject: Dave Matthews Band - "Lie In Our Graves"
Dave Matthews Band
"Lie In Our Graves"
From the album "Crash"
Words by Dave Matthews
Music by Dave Matthews, Carter Beauford, Stefan Lessard, Leroi
Moore, and Boyd Tinsley
Transcribed by Tim Barnett
First off, this just is all about what Dave is known for,
straight jammin!! This song (Texts of songs ) was kind of easy to figure out because of
the repetition of the intro. The rest of the song (Texts of songs ) is just playing
chords slow then fast. I want to dedicate this song (Texts of songs ) to Corey and J.D.
who got me into Dave Matthews Band.

1st verse:
When I step into the light, my arms are open wide.
Oh, when I step into the light, my eyes searching wildly.
Would you not like to be sittin' on top of the world with your legs
hangin' free?
Would you not like to be
okay, okay, okay.

Oh, when I'm walkin' by the water,
Comes up through my toes to my ankles to my head to my soul I'm blown
away.

3rd verse: Fig.1 7 and a half xs
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had
spend our living days well.
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that
we might have been.
Would you not like to be?
I can't believe that you would not like to be okay, okay, okay, okay,
okay, okay.
Well, that's all of this song (Texts of songs ). If I got anything wrong please
e-mail me at [email protected]. I am open to any corrections and also
Dave songs. Also I would like to say thanks and give love to my
beautiful girlfriend, Janelle, because she is why I play guitar. Thanks
and enjoy!!!!!!!!!
