Really, the best way to look at it is you hit the 'A' string followed quickly by the 'G' string for each
chord...then you follow the patterns of...
A#-C-Dm-C (pause) A#-C-Dm (pause) [count 1,2,3,4...pause....1,2,3]
A#-C-Dm-C (pause) A#-C-Dm (pause) [count 1,2,3,4...pause....1,2,3]
A#-Dm-C-A# A#-Dm-C-A# Dm-C-A# (pause) [count 1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3]
A#-C-Dm-C A#-C-C-A# A#-C-Dm-C A#-C-Dm-Dm-? [count 1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..1,2,3,4..]

Rest of the Song:
===========================================================
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dave_matthews_band/two_step_tab_ver_6.html ]
Then the intro ends, and the drums kick in, and the rest can be found tabbed everywhere...basically...it's the
same barr chords...
Dm-10,12,12,10,10,10
A#-688766
C-8,10,10,9,8,8
F-133211
Am-577555
Gm-355333
** Important note...A#~C means slide the A# chord into the C chord...
[[[ Verse ]]]
Dm A#~C F A#-Am-Gm
Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions..
Dm A#~C F A#-Am-Gm
You, laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking...
F A# Am Gm
Say love you drive me to distraction...
(some Violin plucking here, don't know it)
Dm A#~C F A# Am Gm
Oh, helena, do you believe that we might Last a
Dm A#~C F A# Am Gm
Thousand years or more if not for this, our flesh and blood
F A# Am Gm
it ties, you and me right up tie me down
[[[ Chorus ]]]
F C Gm A# Am F C Gm A# Am
.....Celebrate we will.........cause life is short and sweet for certain...
F C Gm A# Am F C Gm A# Am
We're climbing two by two........to be sure these days continue...
F A#-Am-Gm F
Things we cannot change..
(ok, more violin plucking while dave just plays F-A#-Am-Gm over and over)
Now, you just have to keep going...two more verses and two more choruses...just as above...
Just keep up with the 3 Chord patterns...
1) Dm A#~C F A#-Am-Gm (main one in verses, remember A#~C means A# slides into a C)
2) F C Gm A# Am (maind one in chorus)
3) F A#-Am-Gm (used in various places)
==========================================================
