Before you look at the tabs below and think im crazy listen.
Theres a million other tabs out there on this awsome song and
you just happend to click on my version. I'm sure that other
tabs are also correct in sound, but my tabulation is the
way Dave plays it; with a larg and constant strech.
Go somewhere else to find the easy chorus.
Way to play:-You want to use you index finger (1) when
ever you play a sting on fret 4 and 5
-Use your middle finger (2) when ever you
play the a sting on the 6th fret
-Use your little finger (4) when you want
to play anywhere on the 8th fret
-never use you ring finger(3)
(I'd also recommend stretching your hand
before you play this your first time.)

Playing Tips:-keep your hand at a 5 freth reach
4-8 (do the math thats 4 frets)
-try to arch your hand in a rainbow
over the neck (it improves reach)
Heres the rest of the song. In order to play it correctly
you should keep your right hand moving at the same pace.
This gives you the ability to play the mutes that Matthews
plays in between chords
