The Dreaming Tree ----------------- Credit.....Rory Lowe...Glade14@aol.com There is also in this intro a alternating A and B on the G string, but I believe its Tim Reynolds, and not Dave playing it all..it seems pretty impossible for him to be doing it by himself, so I tried to combine it best I could, so I left out the A in the riff so you can play it by yourself....Enjoy!

Here's another version from Jack Gray: This is a really cool song. Some of it is easy while some of it isn't easy to get used to. I think that its origins come from the jam at the end of Seek Up when Dave wails a lot. Chords used:(low E to high e) Dm-10 12 12 11 x x C-8 10 10 9 x x A-5 7 7 6 5 5 G-3 5 5 4 3 3 F-1 3 3 2 1 1 D-x 5 7 7 7 5 Dm(2)-10 x x 10 x x C(2)-8 x x 9 x x ~ = vibrato h = hammer on Intro/Verse: e--------------- B--------------- G---9----9h11--- D-9---9--------9 A--------------- E--------------- changes to (strum these chords once and hold) [Dm]Standing here [Dm]the old man... [C]"long before these... [C]here stood my... repeat this until "The dreaming tree has died." After that it goes into two guitar parts. e-------------------------0 B------------------------6- G-7~-(eight times)-5--7---- D-------------------------- A-------------------------- E-------------------------- two: strums this over and over e-13-13---13-13 B-13-13---13-13 Do both 4 times, then strum A and hold Then, during the "have you no pity" part: A, G, F, D, and repeat. Then [D]speak[A]please Do all of this until the lots-o-muting fast part at the end, which is: Dm(2)x2 to C(2)x2 Yet another version from Ethan Bauley: this first part (i think it's this first part (i think it's played similarly to "seek up" (position-wise)): e---------------------------------------- b------5--7-------7-------5--7-------7--- g---------------------------------------- d--7----------7-------7----------7------- i play it with my ring finger on the seventh fret of the "d" string and my index finger and pinky splitting duty on the fifth and seventh frets of the "b" string, respectively. the verse part has been driving me nuts. i think it goes like this(each chord is strummed at the beginning of each bar): Dm D Am Am e--1---------0------------ b--3----3----1-----1------ g--2----2----2-----2------ d-------0----2-----2------ a------------------------- make sure to leave the top note of the chord every second time you play it. or, maybe something like: e--------------------------------------- b--------------------------------------- g--10----7----9----3-------------------- d--12---------7----5-------------------- a--12----8------------------------------ i don't know the next part, but the chorus goes something like D5 (eX,b3,g2,d0) A5 or maybe Asus4 G (E3,a2,d0,g0) F Here's another version from Jason Weathers: Intro: E------------------------------------------------------------------- B--------------5/7----------7------------5/7------------7----------- G------------------------------------------------------------------- D------7--------------7------------7-------------7------------------ A------------------------------------------------------------------- E Verse: Dm A# C Am E----x-----x------x------x------------------------------------------ B----6-----x------x------x------------------------------------------ G----7-----7------9------5------------------------------------------ D----x-----8------10-----7------------------------------------------- A----5-----x------x------x------------------------------------------ E----x-----6------8------6------------------------------------------ after "the Dreaming tree has died," Dave strums the Dm fast and stays on it for a while, and ends with a single strum on an A before the chorus. Chorus: this was difficult but I think I got it. The first three chords are A-G-F, and then it goes to a "Dave" D chord that he plays in Best of Whats around. It looks like this: E---------5----- B---------3----- When you play it, it'll look like a C moved up G--------------- 2 frets with an added chord. D---------4----- A---------5----- E---------x----- When Dave gets to "Take me back..." play the verse chords. At "Save me please..." he's just playing the Dm chord through the end.
