I would check out www.dmbtabs.com
They work hard at making the tabs accurate, and is probably the easiest way to do it.

Best,

Dmbtabs only has guitar,bass tabs....so that wouldnt help you. I know of two members here at Ants....If i can recall there Screennames correctly one is "Saxman..something" and the other is "werkinsnake" these guys know alot about "Sax questions." Good luck

Try Eb or Bb

I'm pretty sure its in Bb with the intro in Eb

[werkinsnake]

The intro is an acoustic guitar riff that switches from Eb major (concert key) to C minor. If you want to play it like the old school "Millers Era" DMB, use a tenor sax for the opening jam, using a F major (tenor) to a D minor. In recent years, Leroi has been using the alto for the opening solo. Use a C major (alto) to A minor. After the intro, as the song moves onto the verse, Roy plays along with the guitar. On alto it's A, E, A (think One Sweeeeeeeeet World) ((D,A,D Tenor)). Then the repeating riff on alto is middle D, high G, high D (G, C, G altissimo on tenor). The ending riff played with the violin goes C, B on alto. Since the ending riff is played over and over, Roy usually switches to E, D or A, G. This riff is played over a concert Bb, so if you can think of anything that fits, then by all means play it. DMB is all about creativity and new ideas.
