Taken from: http://www.dmbtabs.com/boards/viewtopic ... ight=crush

Code: Select all

[size=7][/size]Maybe this will help, maybe it won't.  As far as the strumming for each chord, it is basically like this: DD  D  UDUD  D  DU.  This is hard to explain, for sure, but it is a very simple strumming pattern, which you probably know, but just don't realize it in this song.  Cut and paste this to Notepad or Word (Courier New font to see it correctly).  No, I didn't just do this, I have had it for a while (I have somewhat of a life  :wink: )... 

"Crush"…  (Each chord corresponds with the lyrics directly below it. If a chord is over the middle of a word, you change chords in the middle of the word) 

Verse 
E:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
B:---3----------3----------3-----------2--------------------------------------------------------- 
G:---x----------0----------2-----------2----------4---------5---------5-------------4------------ 
D:---4----------4----------x-----------x----------x---------x---------5-------------x------------ 
A:---2----------2----------x-----------x----------x---------x---------3-------------2------------ 
D:-------------------------2-----------2----------3---------5------------------------------------ 

     Crazy      how it     feels     tonight      crazy     how you   make it all alright love 
     Crush me   with the   things you do        and I do    for you   anything      too oh 


That should help you with the verse as far as where to change chords.  When you end the verse ("feels so right…") you change the last chord, barring the low three strings (as it is on the site.) 

Bridge 

E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
B:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
G:----------------------------------------------------------5-------------4------------ 
D:---7----------------------------------9-------------------5-------------x------------ 
A:---5----------------------------------7-------------------3-------------2------------ 
D:---5----------------------------------7---------------------------------------------- 

     Lovely   lady,  I am  at your      feet..  oh God I    want you so   badly.. 
     And I wonder this, could tomorrow  be.. so wondrous as you there     sleeping? 

Back into verse… 
      
Then from verse part to chorus goes… 

E:------------------------------------------------------------ 
B:---3-----------------3----------3-----------2--------------- 
G:---x-----------------0----------2-----------2--------------- 
D:---4-----------------4----------x-----------x--------------- 
A:---2-----------------2----------x-----------x--------------- 
D:--------------------------------2-----------2--------------- 

   ..we drink some     wine till    we get    drunk yeah… 

Chorus  (parenthesis are the fingers for each chord..) 

E:----------------------------------------------------------------- 
B:----------------------------------------------------------------- 
G:---12-(4)--------------12-(4)-----------12-(4)-----------12-(4)-- 
D:---10-(2)--------------12-(3)-----------10-(1)------------9-(1)-- 
A:----8-(1)--------------10-(1)-----------10-(1)-----------10-(2)-- 
D:----------------------------------------------------------------- 

      It's crazy I'm     thinkin'  just   knowing that the world is 
     Round and           here I'm         dancing          on the 
    Ground, am I         right side       up or            upside  
    Down , is this       real  (this is how he sings the first chorus on Storytellers, not the album)… 

E:-------------------------- 
B:-------------------------- 
G:--5----------4------------ 
D:--5----------2------------ 
A:--3----------2------------ 
D:-------------2------------ 
    Or...      am I dreaming?   (Into "Lovely lady…" or the jam…)
Credit goes to Billy for the tab.

I cannot get this strumming pattern. I mean, I can keep the rythym but doesn't sound perfect. Any more pointers you could throw in? This is very upsetting :)

Download the video of Dave at farmaid, He performs crush solo. It helps out a lot. Just search Kazaa.

The storytellers crush is also very helpful for strumming pattern.

I downloaded both parts from kazaa. do a broad video search of dave matthews storytellers. Both parts should be found.

i have a quick question about the song...does anyone know why dave plays this in Drop D. its just as easy to play it in standard and let the low E ring instead of dropping to D and hitting 2. It just seems that D is used for songs like Bartender and DDTW because the D can ring and it adds fullness. Anyone gotta clue?

those middle four chords of the verse are MUCH easier to play in drop D. if it were open E, then letting the low e ring wouldn't let you mute the middle strings. also, it is much easier to hit the chords of "loveley lady" part.

I see your point, but i play it in standard just fine. I use the 5th's 3,5,7 chord for "Lovely Lady" But yea, i guess i can see that it might be a little bit easier
