Matthews Dave - Typical Situation Tabs

This is a real simple but powerful tune.  There are lots of ways to play the intro, but the most logical way is as follows, because it makes it easier to transition into the chords for the chorus. Listen to the song to get the strum rhythm correct.

e---------------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------------------
G-----4---4---4-----4----4----4----4----4----4----4----4----4---
D-------5----5--------5----5---------5----5---------5----5------
A--------------------------------3--------------3---------------
E--0-------------0----------------------------------------------

Then strum this a few times as a transition into chorus:

e-----------
B-----------
G---4-------
D---5-------
A---3-------
E---X-------

Followed by..

"everybodys happy, everybodys free, we'll keep the big door open, everyone will come around..."
 
change on:  everybody |everybody|   keep   | everyone |
