Gravedigger Chords & Lyrics by Dave Matthews Band
Gravedigger
guitar chords lyrics
Alright, I saw that the tab that's highest rated wasn't exactly right but pretty close.
watched the AOL Sessions video for the song and got the exact chords from what Dave plays.
Chords:
Am - xx2210
Am7 - 3x2210
F - 133211
G - 320033
Dm- xx0231
A#5 - x133xx
E - 022100
D - 2x032x
Alright, now here's the song.
The intro starts out with Dave playing an Am and hammering on the C in the Am chord. It
like this:
E---------------------|
B---0h1-1--1----------|
G---2---2--2----------|
D---2---2--2----------|
A-0------0-0----------|
E---------------------|
And then it goes:
Am Am7 F x 2
You should be able to hear when he switches between Am and Am because he hits the low G
note when he switches between them.
The song goes like this:
Intro
then
Am Am7
Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
F Am
Made his great-grandchildren believe they could live to 103
Am Am7
103 is forever when you're just a little kid
F Am
So Cyrus Jones lived forever
Chorus:
Am Am7
Gravedigger, when you dig my grave
E
Could you make it shallow,
Am Am7 D Am
So that I can feel the rain oh, Gravedigger
Verse 2:
Same chord progression. then the chorus, and then the bridge.
Bridge:
Dm F C G A#5
Ring around the rosie,
Dm F C G A#5
Pocket full of posies,
Dm F C G A#5
Ashes to ashes,
Dm F C G
We all fall down,
then back to chorus, and then a verse, then another chorus. Then the outro, which is
Dave going through the intro but the chord changes are a little faster and there's an E at
end, so it's:
Am Am7 F E
It goes:
Intro
