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

Subject: Chords to I AM HYDROGEN by PHISH

I'm not an incredible guitarist, but it doesn't take

all that much to sit down and figure out the

tabs to a song. Here is my interpretation of one of

my favorite Phish tunes, I am Hydrogen.

I AM HYDROGEN by PHiSH

------------- --------

F: 132211

B: 113331

After a few bars of alternating between the chords F

and B ...

B F

E-----10--------10-8--------8-----------------------|
B---------------------11-10----11--10-8-------------|
G--10-------10---------------------------10---------|
D---------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|

B F

E-----10--------10-8------------------|
B---------------------11-10-----------|
G-----------10---------------10-------|
D-------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------|

The above repeats a couple of times before going onto

this:

B F

E----(8)-10----8-10-13----10-13-15----13-15-17------|
B---------------------------------------------------|
G--10-----------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|

B F

E--15-17-18----17-18-20-18-17-13--------------------|
B---------------------------------------------------|
G---------------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|

Then back to the first part a couple more times

After that, it goes something like this :

E----(8)-10----8-10-8-------10--------10-13-12-13---|
B---------------------11-10--------10---------------|
G-10------------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|
E-15-13-12-10-13-12-10------------------------------|
B----------------------13---------------------------|
G---------------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|

Then comes a bunch of ascending scales alternating

between Paige and Trey, but I couldn't get those down.

After that, the final chord that separates I Am

Hydrogen from Weekapaug is an F Chord, I think

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
