How to play Stay (Wasting Time) by Dave Matthews Band

Again really crappy quality and i know the blips are annoying, but at least you can hear me this time.

Here's a tab:

We were walking
Just the other day
It was so hot outside
you could fry an egg
Remember you were talking
I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and I caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertips

We were just wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
A little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for a while.

Then later on the sun began to fade
Then the clouds rolled over head
And it began to rain
Oh, we were dancing mouths open
Splashing tongue taste
For a moment this good time would never end
You and me
You and me
Just wasting time
I was kissing you,
You were kissing me love
From good day into the moonlight
Now a night so fine
Makes us wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile.

Makes you wanna... (two times)
Makes me wanna... (two times)
Don't it make you wanna?

Wasting time
I shall miss this thing
When it all rolls by
What a day...
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay here for awhile.

Hey love
Oh just groping you
Rolling in the mud
Stay a while
Come on love
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Makes me wanna, makes me wanna stay...(ten times)

Make you wanna stay...don't it?(eleven times)

gre8 stuff. i have a noob qns though. i have trouble strumming only 2 strings. Is it down to just aiming at the 2 strings and practice? or do you use some kind of method to mute the other strings when playing?

thanks for any help!

[dmb6105]

Haha a little of both actually. I do aim at the d and g strings, but I also mute the last two strings, so it's easier.

Is this the official way it's played, the way Dave plays it..? I've seen so many different versions....

[drumsticks135]

This is way easier than I expected

[cedurham118]
