Ants Marching Dave Matthews Band
Dave Mathews Band - Ants Marching
Notes*
-Tacet = a musical term simply meaning MUTE
-The outro is only how my band leaves the song
and how i leave it when im playing alone in
front of others. The Rythem is hard to
explain for it E-mail me at MusicEAD@aol.com
if you would like me to explain it more elaboratley
-Phrase 2 is played through all verses and interludes
-The Chorus is a bit messed up (i felt lazy this took
long enough) but i put which beats each chords should
be on.
-If anyone has ANY recomendations for the bridge
please E-mail me MusicEAD@aol.com and i will
edit it thank you.
-For the intro the D and Dsus4 chords may also
be played like so (again this is how i play them)
