What Would You Say (Dave Matthews)
Transcribed by Andy Citron (andycitron@hotmail.com)
This version is derived from the versions already on OLGA.
I've added the following: 1) all the verses, choruses
and 'pre-choruses' in the order they appear on the album
(the studio version). 2)I also annotated where the 'stops'
occur and 3) denoted when the stop is on 'A' vs. 'G' chord.
4) I also annotated the 'break'. 5) I haven't included
the TAB for the guitar licks. They're in the other versions
already on OLGA.

A G A G
A G A G (stop)

up and down the puppies' hair
fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'cause of original sin
down the hill fell jack and jill
and you came tumbling after
'cause of original sin
