Dream On

"Dream On" by Depeche Mode Words and music by Martin Gore Tabbed by Matt Williams This song is surprisingly easy to play once you set it up right. Drop the low string to and place a capo on the first fret. The main riff is played like this (keeping in mind that "1" is still the first fret, but it is played open because of the capo) E|-----------------------------| B|.---------------------------.| G|-----------------------------| D|----1-4-1-1------1-4-1-1-----| A|.--4-----4--4---4-----4--4--.| D|-----------4-1----------4-1--| This repeats throughout the song, it's basically a cyclic alternate-picking riff that is quite easy and fluid oncee you get the hang of it. Listen to the song for the meter and rythm. I just keep my middle finger of my left hand planted on the 4th fret of the 5th string and I use my ring finger for the fretting on strings 4 and 6. Here is the bridge part: E|----------------| B|----------------| G|----1--1---1--1-| D|---1--1---1--1--| A|----------------| D|--1------3------| And the bit before Dave sings "mmm mmm" E|---------------------| B|---------------------| G|---------------------| D|--------4----------4-| A|-----1-4--------1-4--| D|--1-4--------1-4-----| As always, check the song for rythm and meter.
