Why I Am Tab

   
This album is different but really grows on you.

I apologize for this tab being rather blah but just getting the main parts across.
I'm not sure how to coomunicate the rhythm well so just use your ears.
Never made a tab before and I don't have a definite way to play this, mainly just the musical
notes.

Main Riff:

G-GG-G(octave)-GG-C-B
 
e|---------------------------|
B|---------------------------|
G|---------------------------|
D|--------5------------------|
A|----------------------3--2-|
E|-3---3-----3-3--3--3-------|

Main Riff when sing "Why I am" at the end.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dave_matthews_band/why_i_am_tab.html ]
e|-----------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|
G|-----------------------------|
D|--------5-------------3--2---|
A|---------------------------3-|
E|-3---3-----3-3--3--3---------|

Might be this at times too.

A|----------------------------2-|
E|-3---3-----3-3--3--3----------|

*I like to just pound on a G chord, hitting the top deeper strings and then the higher 
for the octave effect.  Then just get those other notes in there however, either 
or do a C chord and a C/B


Another part.  Listen for it.  First 3 notes are held longer and then quick on the A 
notes.
