Dave Matthews - The Stone (Acoustic Cover)

Mostly the same til the solo break down at 3:37.

Dave Matthews gave a great show at the grammys a week ago. This is an acoustic cover of my favorite DMB song "The Stone".

I know I play it slightly different: a single picking of the 5th fret g note on the d string, and I took a faster tempo. Just call it my attempt at Dave's masterpiece.

Lyrics used:
I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?

I've been praying
For some way to show them I'm not what they see
I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done, I swear (small break)

Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
God knows it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go

I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go-I will go a

Long way
Back from that fool's mistake
Forever pay
Run I will run and I'll be O-K

Well I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go-I will go (alone)

I go a long way
To bury the past for I don't want to pay
God how I wish this
To turn back the clock and do over again

Now I'm just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go-I will go alone

(Break for solo)

I need so
To stay in your arms, see you smile and hold you close
God it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and of bone chilling cold

I was just wondering if you'd come along
Just Tell me you will.
Out of this madness
Out of this madness

Let it all fall out darling
Wise men say
Only fools fall in love,
But I can't help falling in love with you oh darlin

(stone outro)

A lot of creative expression after 3:37 that is definitely your interpretation of the meaning of the song & not Dave's........but that's ok.....and it was interesting.

[TheMgoslett1]

Wow! you have the touch and finesse of a rapist. There are actually some decent tutorials of this tune on youtube if you'd like to learn it and also, let me introduce you to a little friend of mine called...metronome!
