Lawn Boy

Bathtub Gin

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

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

(Minor corrections by Eric Berman)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cap, that he wears like a crown

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

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

The woman was a dream I had

Though rather hard to keep

for when my eyes were watching hers

They closed,

And I was still asleep.

For when my hand was holding hers

She whispered words and I awoke

And faintly bouncing around the room

The echo of whomever spoke

I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room

the echo of whomever spoke.

The place I saw was far beneath

The surface of the sea

My sight was poor

But I was sure

The sirens sang their songs for me

They dance above me as I sink

I see them through a crystal haze

And hear them bouncing round the room

the never ending coral maze

The crystal haze

And hear them bouncing round the room

the never ending coral maze

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

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

A=------------9-----7------(SOLO-here's the beginning-...

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

olfactory hues

E=-10---9---8----9---(trill this note)--------------------------------|

E=--(...and the end...)-----------------------------------------------|

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

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

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

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

Theme one of middle jam:

[switch to 7/4 time]

BbMaj7 F/C C/E Ab6 Bb Gm

E|-(18>*-------------------|

B|-(11>--Hold===========>--|

*Best is if you can get a harmonic to ring on the eleventh fret of the B

string.

Theme 2:

\----/ \-----/ \--------------------|

\-----/ \---------|

D6 CMaj7 F Gm6

\-------------------------------------------------------------|

Eb2? C2? Ddim7 G

\----------------|

The muscles flex the mother's ring

She fastens children to her king

and sends him down the crooked street

When he returns, the birth's complete

Jimmy holds the Tannis root

The forest's tasty nectar shoot

The sun tips off the monarch's suit

from sequined sash to shiny boot

"I'd like to lick the coil some day

Like Iccarus, who had to pay

with melting wax and feathers brown

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

Theme 3:

\----/ \----------------------------------|

Eb E+ Ebb5 C+7/E Am9/Eb?

It got away..........It got away (repeat a few times and fade)
