We look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
And these crimes between us grow deeper
In concerts (including RTT) , DMB skips this, but it is played on Under the Table..
Continue verse strum, and sing
Take these chances
Place them in a box/Until a

Lights down you up and die
Start verse strum on "die"
Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well
His concerns he forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming
Chorus

Take these chances
F# D G B A
Place them in a box/Until a
F# D G B A
quieter time lights down you up and die

They all do it the same
F# D G B A
They all do it the same
Do an entire measure of verse strum on "way"
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayeah!
Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by weight loss
Program cutting the corners there's a loose end loose end
Cut Cut
On the fence so not to offend
Cut Cut

Take these chances

Place them in a box/Until a

Ants Marching
Dave Mathews Band
Under The Table And Dreaming and Remember Two Things
After watching the HOUSE OF BLUES performance many times on tape and in
slo-mo
here is what I have come up with
Verse
He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and hes rolling
etc...
You can cheat and play DDG / GGD
Those areactually the chords Boyd plays along with dave on the fiddle
Chorus:
Bm D G Bm A
Take these chances
Etc.
Back to the DDG/GGD for the verse
Follow the DDG/GGD until...
All the little ants are marching
4D------0------------0--------------2
5A------2------------0--------------2
6E------3------------2--------------0
(top three only!)
Repeat for
Red annd black antenna...
they all do it....
Back to DDG/GGD for candyman....
I can not for the life of me figure out the little shuffle that Dave plays in
the verse in between the D and the G
I think it goes a little something like this.
4D--------4---4 D-------0---0
D and then 5A--------5 --5 then a G then A ------5 --5
6E--------0---0 E------5---5
I have tried for a long time and that's all i can get
Any corrections are appreciated as well as any other DMB songs especially
Tripping Billies. Someone figure that one out.... please!?!
