Song: Dance With Me Baby Artist: Ben Rector Album: Into the Morning Tabbed by: Patrick Gamache Alright, so the previous two tabs both have some parts correct, but not all of it. I decided to just do the whole thing. I also have a version of the intro figured out, and if I have the time later I might add the solo to the mix. Most of what I have figured out here is based on this video of Ben in the studio: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C14IWlbWlMg. You can see every chord he plays in the song at least once. Here are the chords the way Ben plays them: Verse G |3x0003| C |x32010| Cadd9 |x32033| G* |3x2013| Em7 |020033| D* |x54030| Am7 |x02010| [ch]F#/G[/ch] |200230| A |x02220| IMPORTANT: I have notes on some of these chords at the bottom of the page that people who want to play this song on the guitar by itself will find quite useful. Intro: e|--------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------3-----------------------| G|0-------2---0-3/4-----------------------0---------| D|------------------------------3------------2------| A|--------------------------------------------------| E|---------------(3)--------------------------------| ^ if you can't hit this note, no worries. It sounds fine without it. G G* G G* G G* G G* Am7 And do I leave for California C When my love is here behind in Tennessee? G G* G Am7 From the night times and the mornings C I am aching for the better part of me G G* G [ch]F#/G[/ch] Em7 With a thousand miles behind me Cadd9 And a thousand more that I have yet to go G G* G [ch]F#/G[/ch] Em7 Well, I kept all of your letters Cadd9 G Reading in between the white lines on the road D* The white lines on the road Em C G So won't you come home and dance with me baby Em C G Cause I've been travelling this road that is so dark Em C G So won't you come home and dance with me baby A Cause it's been too long Am7 It's been too long G G* G G* G G* G Oh, yeah Am7 C And I find I am divided between here and there G G* G And you and them and me Am7 And I know this dream that I am chasing C Very well could go and be the death of me G G* G [ch]F#/G[/ch] Em7 So darling, don't you worry Cadd9 G G* I'll be there before you can close your eyes G [ch]F#/G[/ch] Em7 I'll be there to kiss my baby Cadd9 G And dance with you into the morning light D* Into the morning light Em C G So won't you come home and dance with me baby Em C G Cause I've been travelling this road that is so dark Em C G So won't you come home and dance with me baby A Cause it's been too long Am7 It's been too long G G* G G* G G* G Oh, yeah SOLO Rhythm guitar: repeat G G* Em C G So won't you come home and dance with me baby Em C G Cause I've been travelling this road that is so dark Em C G So won't you come home and dance with me baby A Cause it's been too long Am7 It's been too long G G* G G* G G* G Oh, yeah - Notes on the chords: To play the G and G* chords that make up the main riff, put your pinky on the e string (higher tone) and your ring finger on the E string (lower tone). Let your ring finger rest on the A string so that it mutes the string completely; it's a very pleasant-sounding chord. The reason that D* sounds ugly when you play it is that the piano covers up how messed up this chord is. You can see in the video that the pianist plays an F# as the bass note when Ben plays this chord on the guitar. If you want to make it sound a little better, try barring it on the second fret, or at the very least try to hit that low F#, like so: |254232|. If your fingers are not that flexible, try to get that low F#: |254030|. For solo guitar, that sounds much better in my opinion. It should be an F#maj7 chord, I believe, but Ben cheats on this song. Most people play the Em7 like this: |022033|. Both Ben's version and this one are musically correct, and I think both sound fine. The G* chord is technically G/C, but that is a bit of an eyesore to tab out, so I kept the same labelling system as the other version of this song. - Enjoy everybody! Hopefully we can get some sheet music for the piano part sooner rather than later, no? Don't forget to rate!
