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 E  
string to D 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.
