This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

"Shadowplay" by Fish from the album Internal Exile, live version appears on

For Whom the Bells Toll.

I know that this is not 100% correct, but I it should be a good kick in the

right direction. Listening to the recording should be able to help you better

put it together, as all I really did we just put what chords/notes come in

where. If ya want a really nice looking one, send me lots of money :)

Enjoy!!!

(Keyboard Intro)

(Guitar comes in - these are the chords - the recording will help. :)

I am not entirely sure about these, as there is a lot going on.

Bb F Bb C G

Intro ends on a...

G

(First verse has no instruments, just Fish.)

Chorus (just alternates between these two chords.):

A E

(Main riff played during the rest of the verses and the chords that follow the riff each time.).

e-|-------------------------------10-10\-|------------------------------------|
B-|-------------------------------10-10\-|------------------------------------|
G-|--------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
D-|--------------------------------------|--------------------------0--2--0---|
A-|-----------------3--1--0--1-----------|-----------------3--1--0------------|
E-|--3--5--3--5--3--------------3--------|--3--5--3--5--3-------------------3-|

Bb F Bb F G

Chorus just switches between:

A E

Insert Verse stuff here:

Chorus just switched between: (Yes, the key changes.)

Bb F

The break in the song where Fish just talks... Starts on a:

G

G Ab G (a bit before the vocals start loud again)

Chorus just switches between: Repeats until almost the end.

Bb F

At the end it stays on a Bb, and every so often slides from a Db down to

a Bb.

NOTE: It sounds like there is a lot more going on. That's because there

is, but most of it is on the keyboards. The live version is good to

listen to, because the distinction is a lot clearer.
