Just listen to the song a whole bunch of times and you'll see how the
changes I wrote come together.  It's actually quite easy.  The single notes
before a chord is when it goes dah and then the chord so they are played
close together.

That's about it if you have any questions or don't understand something,
e-mail me.

CRASH INTO ME
by Dave Matthews Band

...as found on the Crash CD.

I learned this song listening to the CD (at my roomate Jay's request) 
so it is pretty much as is.  You can play it with normal tuning, or 
you can drop the D down to an E if you prefer.


This tab is in normal tuning, I guess since I am lazy, it's easier -
and sounds the same.  If you drop the D, the refrain will have to
be a little different, maybe just play the bass line part.

Sweet you rock and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost for you

In a boys dream
In a boys dream.



Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare-boned and crazy for you
When you come crash in to me, baby
And I come into you
I am boys dream
In a boys dream

If I've gone overoard
Then I'm beggin you to forgive me
In my haste 
When I'm holding you so girl...
close to me

Oh and you come crash into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me
In a boys dream.... in a boys dream

Oh I watch you there through the window 
And I stare at you
Your wear nothing buy you wear it so well
Tied up and twisted, the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash into me

a few friends o mine introduced me to dmb .. and i must say
 .. i was impressed..

i just noticed that justin mayer: wyrpaladyn@worldnet.att.net
has beat me to this song .. but .. even tho his is just as good
i think my version has a cleaner and softer tone.  be that it's
not play'd on the lower strings...
	but that's my biased opinion .. heh

                 ----------------

This is the basic Chord that he works around.  First hit the A string 
(will sound a C#), then the chord (you know how the song sounds, like 
that). and then lift your finger off the A string and hit it to sound 
an A.              
                 e  a  d  g  b  e
                 ----------------

                 !  !  !  !  4  !
                 ----------------

And then the Chord.  Next move your index finger from the d string to 
the A string (same fret) so as to sound a B.  You must, however, mute 
the d string now (I just use my index finger).
                       X
                 e  a  d  g  b  e

                 !  !  !  !  4  !
                 ----------------

play the B and then the chord.  Next, just sound the E string (low E) 
and then the Chord again.  next put your middle finger on the E string, 
4th fret.  sound the resulting G# and then the chord.
 
                 e  a  d  g  b  e
                 ----------------
                 !  !  !  !  !  !

                 !  !  !  !  4  !
                 ----------------

Next hit the A string (but open, lift off your index finger.  you can 
put your index back on the d string second fret for this)and then the 
chord.

                 e  a  d  g  b  e
                 ----------------
                 !  !  !  !  !  !

                 !  !  !  !  !  ! 
                 ----------------
                 2  !  !  3  !  !
                 ----------------
                 !  !  !  !  4  !
                 ----------------

Next put your index finger back on the A string, 2nd fret.  Also lift 
off your middle finger from the E string.   play that B (A 2nd fret) 
and then the chord. 

                 e  a  d  g  b  e
                 ----------------
                 !  !  !  !  !  !

                 ----------------
                 !  !  !  !  4  !
                 ----------------
Next, hit the open E and then the chord (same chord).  next go back to 
the original chord from the begining and start all over.  this is the 
basic chord progression -- riff.

I learned this from endlessly watching a video of Dave performing this song live. It will wreak 
havoc on your chord hand if you haven't loosened up before playing it. Then once you have your 
hands warmed up take a stab at trying to sing and play it.
