Dave Matthews Band - Stay Or Leave Chords & Tabs

Stay or Leave
by Dave Matthews
Tabbed by Adam Hanley (AHanley@wooster.edu)

NOTE: This song is in a raised baritone tuning (low to high: B,e,a,d,f#,b).. Either capo on the 7th fret or retune your guitar.. If you retune, I'd suggest tuning your a,d,g, and e strings up 2 half steps and your b up 3 half steps.. you'll have to do without a high b and move all these chords up one set of strings (ignore your low E), but it's less stressful than tuning up 7 half steps.
