I always wondered why there is no tab for dreams of our fathers on this site. Not that its all that great of a song, but I'd be cool to learn to play.

Well, they have NEVER played it live. I have always wondered why, since it is a good song. One of the most underated songs of dmb. It's got a GREAT beat to it, that just keeps going. Anyways, here's my tab.

Dave can't sing that fast, and when he's tryed he f***ed it up pretty bad, so they aborted it.

I always thought it was played on a baritone guitar.

he can't sing and play it at the same time. ahhh... the beauties of multi-track recording....

It is on a baritone. I don't own a baritone, though, so I tab it into standard tuning, just like what jkanter does on dmtabs. I actualy strum it as chords and not pick it when I play it solo, to give it a fuller sound.

songs hard enough to sing on its own.....let alone sing AND play

Not really, you just have to get into the really fast davespeak, a la Ants Marching. (

I don't know that he likes it enough to really try it, either..

there is a lot of inflections in that song and it is really really fast compared to other songs. dave is a singer not a rapper. he messes up lyrics all the time and replaces lyrics and stuff but that song is so fast i don't think he can catch up when he screws up so they don't bother with it.

I'm 99.9 % sure that he plays it on a standard 6-string electric, not a baritone.

Well, the tab book for everday says its is played in standard tuning, but the guitar sounds to me more like the one in so right (a baritone) than the one in fool to think (a standard) for comparison.

Keep in mind the guitar in fool to think is being doubled by a keyboard during the verses. Also, I don't hear any tones going below the low E string in the song, which happens in every other song on the entire album that he plays baritone on.

True, but I still think its on a baritone. I guess the only way to be sure is to ask Dave.
