Bathtub Gin

From: John.Greene@student.umass.edu (John Greene)

Solo from Kirk Mehtlan (KM1324@ark.ship.edu)

(Minor corrections by Eric Berman)

C7 Gm7 C7 Gm7 F Eb F Eb D Am7 D Am7

It's kind of like a 1..2.. circus beat....

Intro: C7 Gm7

C7 Gm7 C7 Gm7

Brett is in the bathtub, making soup for the ambassidors,

F Eb F Eb

And I am in the hallway, singing to the trubidors,

C7 Gm7 C7 Gm7

And the kings are all lined up, outside the gate,

F Eb F Eb

And the autumn bell is ringing, but they'll just have to wait.

D C D C --- B ---- Bb

Where is the joker? Have you seen him around with his 3-combed...

Bb Fm7 Bb Fm7

Cap, that he wears like a crown

Bb Fm7 Bb Fm7

Have you seen his striped stockings, and heard his sad tails,

C7 Gm7 C7 Gm7

About the kids under carpet, and the purple humpback whales.

C, Gm7, C, Gm7 (keyboard weirdness)

Here comes the ambassidors, they show up one by one,

And Brett is tasting all the soup to see if it done

And Wendy's on the window sill, waiting to be let in,

And we're all in the bathtub now, making bathtub gin,

And the kings storm the hallway, they've climbed up through the gate,

They didn't mean to be impolite, but they just couldn't wait,

Here comes the joker, with his silly grin,

He carries a martini, made of bathtub gin

(more weirdness)

Here comes the joker, we all must laugh,

Cause we're all in this together, and we love to take a bath.

(solo: C7, Gm7, C7, Gm7, F, Eb, F, Eb etc....)

Bouncing Round the Room

From: John.Greene@student.umass.edu (John Greene)

Mike's Note's (The real thing kids..)

From: Phish newsletter April, May 92

G D

The woman was a dream I had

A D

Though rather hard to keep

G D

for when my eyes were watching hers

They closed,

And I was still asleep.

For when my hand was holding hers

G D

She whispered words and I awoke

And faintly bouncing around the room

C G

The echo of whomever spoke

D A

I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room

C G A

the echo of whomever spoke.

G D

The place I saw was far beneath

A D

The surface of the sea

My sight was poor

But I was sure

A D

The sirens sang their songs for me

They dance above me as I sink

G D

I see them through a crystal haze

And hear them bouncing round the room

C G

the never ending coral maze

The crystal haze

And hear them bouncing round the room

C G

the never ending coral maze

C G A

That time then and once again I'm bouncing around the room.

chorus: D A C G D A C G D A C G ...

song --LAWN BOY

by --PHISH

on the album of the same name...

transcribed by jeff johnston

The trick is to get used to the off- beat, which isn't too tough,

although you may want to listen to the album to get the feel right.

(By the way, the Slip Stitch and Pass version is COMPLETELY different--

it doesn't have a bass line or typical chords, but it still grooves

immensely, which shows just how awesome these guys are.)

...all through the night,

when there's no direct light, and a thin veil of clouds

keeps the stars out of sight.. I can smell the colors outsideonmylawn

the moist green organic my feet tread upon, and the black oleander

surrounded by blues ... I get so overwhelmed... by

E=--------------------same chord progression as verse)...

olfactory hues

...the biggest thing to remember is: THE CHORDS ARE ENTIRELY SEPARATE

FROM THE WORDS. Try to get the chords down with the rhythm, and then add

the words-- fun, fun fun...

Run Like an Antelope

-From Tim Fallon (no net access)

As you all know, this tune is the jam to end all jams. The part spoken by

Trey is accesable from the disc liner.

1st section: D--A

2nd sect. : Em

3rd sect. : Em--D

After Trey says the stuff that at least I don't understand goes like this 1

time : B B B B B B B B

D / Am7

Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run/Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run

D / Am7

Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run/Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run

(really loud!) G -- F

And there's Antelope for 'ya! I hope you have a good time with it as it has

the capacity to greatly improve your playing and get you sweaty all at the

same time.

The Squirming Coil

From: Eric Berman (ericbe@microsoft.com)

The Squirming Coil of sunset

I keep within my reach

Tried yesterday to get away

and hitchhiked to the beach

I saw Satan on the beach

trying to catch a ray

He wasn't quite the speed of light

and the squirming coil

Fmaj7 C G

it got away.... It got away (4x)

The muscles flex the mother's ring

Fm7

She fastens children to her king

and sends him down the crooked street

Fm7

When he returns, the birth's complete

Jimmy holds the Tannis root

Fm7

The forest's tasty nectar shoot

The sun tips off the monarch's suit

Fm7

from sequined sash to shiny boot

Bbm

"I'd like to lick the coil some day

Like Iccarus, who had to pay

with melting wax and feathers brown

Bbm

He tasted it on his way down"

Stun the puppy!

Burn the whale!

Bark a scruff and go to jail!

Forge the coin and lick the stamp!

Little Jimmy's off to camp
