Well, since the contribute tabs section wont be up for a while I guess i will just post the tab here...

Rapunzel by Dave Matthews Band
Tabbed from Before These Crowded Streets & a

              for the chorus and ending jam.)

Part 3

First Chorus: (This isn't 100% correct but it is as close
               as I will get it , I used BTCS and the 99 
               SBD listed above to tab this.)

G:-------------------------------------------------------
D:----------------------------------3-2------------------
A:-5---5-1---1-3---3-5---5-1---1-3------5----------------
E:-------------------------------------------------------

G:-------------------5-9-10-9-12-10-9-10-9-12-10-9-------
D:-------------------------------------------------------
A:-5-1-3-5-3-0-1-3--3------------------------------------
E:-------------------------------------------------------

G:-7-3-5-7-5-2-3-5---------------------------------------
D:------------------3-2----------------------------------
A:-----------------------5-1-3-5---1---1-3---3-5---------
E:-------------------------------------------------------

G:-------------------------------------------------------
D:----------------------------------3-2------------------
A:-5---5-1---1-3---3-5---5-1---1-3------5----------------
E:-------------------------------------------------------

Second Chorus:

The second chorus is pretty much the same but longer. Mess
around with the first chorus to prolong it. 
(Hint: Just repeat the last 3 parts of the first chorus
 and you should be fine.)

(Note: He improvises immensely on the choruses so it isn't
 always like this and he bases the chorus on arpeggios in 
 D Bb and C.)

End Jam (from the 99 DSBD but it works with all versions)
Note: Mess with the end jam...add a few slides & stuff, 
      improvise...it will be more fun if you do. 

G ----------------------------------
D ----------------------------------
A ------2---3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1---------
E --3-3---3-----------------1-1-1-3-

And that is it...I hope this will help you all that were 
confused on the chorus.

Tabbed on Tuesday, June 3 2003.

This is the first time I saw this tab today. Good job man This is an awesome tab.

[Jah]

Thanks . Eh, this tab is a little off. This was made such a long time ago.

I figured out that the Bridge is

Code: Select all

G:----------------7---7----------
D:-----------5------5-----------
A:-5-5-5-5-8----5----------------
E:-------------------------------

The chorus is off but I never figured out entirely what he plays.

And the end jam is something like this

Code: Select all

G:------------------------------------
D:------------------------------------
A:-----2---3-3-1-1----------3-3-3-3-1-
E:-3-3---3---------1-1-1-1------------

[GSR]

[Bartender2424]

[xero]

which part is the bridge?

ditto...
I cant beleive I just put that...

The 'bridge' is the first thing you hear in the song...intro/bridge I guess might be more accurate...I dunno.

As far as the tab goes: good stuff. I just learned this recently, and for the most part I used your tab as a basis. I also grabbed some from here (damn site doesn't always work, so here's the copy/paste )

Code: Select all

Bass riff 1 played 4 times
G:------------------
D:------------------
A:-------------7---5
E:----1-3----5---3--
B:3333--------------

Bass riff 2 played 4 times
G:------------------  at the end -------------
D:------------------  of the 4th  -------------

E:-----------5---3--             ------------3
B:------------------             -------------

Verse:

A:-----3--------5-3----5------3----------5-3-------3----5-3---5-
E:3---------1-------5-3—3---------1----------5—3------1----5-3-3
B:--------------------------------------------------------------

End it with
G:-----------

After you play the 2nd verse play

[Jaykub]

thanks for the tab, unfortunately it's still pretty tough for a bassist like me.
