(1) for those who were unaware (?), dave plays live and his lyrics and tab changes by the evening. this is NOT the definitive version of the song. (2) dave's great talent is in improvisation, so play around with what you see below. try open chords, try standard chords, barre chords, pick parts, strum parts... anything. chances are he's played it that way at least one night.

This song was kind of easy to figure out because of the repetition of the intro. The rest of the song is just playing chords slow then fast. I want to dedicate this song to Corey and J.D. who got me into Dave Matthews Band. Figure 1 (Intro) ------2---------------------------------- --3---3--3--------------------------0-0-0 --2---2--2--------------------2-----4-4-0 (repeat this during 1st --0------0-------------0--2-4---4---2-2-0 verse) -------------4--2------------------------ ---------------------------------3------- 1st verse: When I step into the light, my arms are open wide. Oh, when I step into the light, my eyes searching wildly. Would you not like to be sittin' on top of the world with your legs hangin' free? Would you not like to be okay, okay, okay. Fig. 2 -----------------------3---3---3 -------------2---------3---3---3 --4--4-4-4---2---------0---0---0 (play while the drums enter) --2--2-2-2---2---------0---0---0 --0--0-0-0---0---------2---2---2 --3--3-3-3-------------3---3---3 When i'm walikin' by the water, splish splash, me and you takin' a bath. Oh, when I'm walkin' by the water, Comes up through my toes to my ankles to my head to my soul I'm blown away.

I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been. Would you not like to be? I can't believe that you would not like to be okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Well, that's all of this song. If I got anything wrong please e-mail me at procura@aye.net. I am open to any corrections and also Dave songs. Also I would like to say thanks and give love to my beautiful girlfriend, Janelle, because she is why I play guitar. Thanks and enjoy!!!!!!!!! Tim Barnett 11-07-97
