It sounds like you're looking for the guitar tab to by Matchbox Twenty — specifically the solid, signature feature of that song (the main acoustic riff / intro / verse pattern).
If that’s correct, here’s the core tab for the song’s distinctive riff (standard tuning, capo on 2nd fret — though Rob Thomas plays it without capo sometimes, but capo makes the open chords ring). Capo on 2nd fret (or play without capo using shapes below, but capo matches the recording’s feel).
Em G D A/C# e-0---3---2---0--- B-0---0---3---2--- G-0---0---2---2--- D-2---0---0---2--- A-2---2-------0--- E-0---3----------- In the bridge/outro , the guitar plays a repeating single-note riff over Em–G–D–A: hang matchbox 20 tab
e|-------0-------0-------0-------0-----| B|-----1-------1-------1-------1-------| G|---2-------2-------2-------2---------| D|-2-------2-------2-------2-----------| A|--------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------| That’s a simple (with capo) — but the signature is the rhythm and strumming feel : Down, down-up, up-down-up kind of lazy, syncopated strum. Chords for the verse (no capo, actual key): If no capo, the main progression is:
e|---------------------| B|---------------------| G|---------------------| D|-------2---0---------| A|---2-------2---0-----| E|-0---------------3---| Em G D A That descending bass line (E – D – B – A) is a of the song. It sounds like you're looking for the guitar
(or A7sus4 sometimes) For the intro/verse: Em – G – D – A/C# (walkdown bass note from A to A/C#)
If you meant a different Matchbox Twenty song (e.g., "Push", "Unwell", "Bent", "If You're Gone"), just let me know and I’ll provide the correct tab for that featured riff. Example:
