So Much to Say



As played by Dave Mattews Band on 'Crash'



Transcribed at 2:45pm by Cody Rahn



(Elaboration is welcome)



\=slide down

/=slide up



(that's about it)





The bass line in this song is very expandable and is very easy to
adlib on

becayse it is all basically pieces of an A chord. Lots of sliding
and changing

between octaves of a note happens, too. None of the notes are held
except

those I have marked as being held.



The bass enters the song with the drums.



This is the main riff during which Dave is singing the verses.

The slide down from 8 at the end leads into the riff and this is
played over

and over until the part I assume to be the chorus or bridge. At
the end of the

measure before the chorus, they leave out the slide down from 8.
Instead, the

5 is held through to the beginning of the chorus and hit again there.



(I tried my best to get these lyrics in sync with the line)

Sometimes,
I find it's easy to be myself.

After this, they just go back into the verse riff.



Enjoy.
