Dave Matthhews Band
Big Eyed Fish - Studio version
Tabbed by Steve Oliver
This is a tab of DMB's Big Eyed Fish from Busted Stuff. Its pretty simple really once you get past some of the weird
fingerings that Dave does, although this is easy compared to most of his stuff. I have split the song up into parts and
separated the important segments, the violin and sax segments are tabbed out as well, listen for the harmonic though played
by Boyd on his violin, as it will be in the tab.

Sax/Violin comes in on the verse after Dave has played the 4 bars the first time, Boyd and LeRoi do something like this but
arranged for guitar, it does appear later in the song. This phrase comes in at different parts during the tune and is
repeated 6 times on the outro to Bartender before going into the chordal finish which fades off.
