A shining light in darkness deep in me

Time to put your money where your mouth is

Put 'em in a field and let 'em fight it out

I'm running so fast my feet don't touch the ground

I'm a stranger here I'm going down

Let's get down to the nitty gritty

Let's get this show on the road

I'll show you mine if you show me yours

I'm breathing hard - open the door

[repeat chorus]

Brain dead, and made of money

Af-ter mid - night |

The solo is fairly basic and follows the progression of the

verse (2 times). I'm not typing it in, 'cause you should be

able to get it off the record. If not: improvise!

Also Sprach Zarathustra "2001"

Note: I would just like to clear up some confusion

in the discusion part of this song. The organ actually

sounds better if you do something like this:

Bb A G E G: Bb A G F G

and as far as the chords in the organ,

just let the guitar to the main part with the organ playing

what I have writen above. And end

on the chord specified by this tab.

I was looking at the tab for Also Sprach Zarathustra "2001". I

just wanted to point out that the funky version that phish plays is really

from Eumir Deodato and is recorded on the Sony label. If you want to hear

that version, check out the great movie "Being There" with Peter

Sellers. It's a clean, studio version with a very 70's feel to it.

Jam starts in Cmin7

Bass/Organ line:

G------------------------------------------

D----8-7--------------8-7------------------

A--------10--7--10--------10--8--10--6>7---

E--8----------------8----------------------

Alt Piano Bass Line

Trey does his little noodling over it:

Then this riff builds up the jam (have whoever's not playing lead hit the chords/

Architect

This is a I, IV, V song in the key of E.

Main riff: E

e---------12----------x-x-x--------14-12---

B---------12---xxx----x-x-x---xx---14-12---

G---------12---xxx----6/7-7---xx---14-12---

D--------------xxx----4/5-5---xx-----------

A---------------------x-x-x----------------

E--/12*---------------x-x-x-----------------

*Play first time through only, substitute with some muting the other times.

| E | E | E | E |

| A | A | E | E |

| B | A | E | E |

This is the verse, there are four bars of intro first, which sould be

played using the main riff. The two bars of A should be played with

lots of muting and the same 14-12 ending as the E riff, using this

chord:

A9

e-12-

B-12-

G-12-

D-11-

A-12-

E---

The B-->A progression should be played like this:

-7-----7--6-5---

-10----10-9-8---

-8-----8--7-6---

-7-----7--6-5---

-9-----9--8-7---

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

The last bars of E should then be played on the 12th fret, using the E

,B,and G strings. The chorus seems to be just playing around on that

same pattern.

For the solo, you can just play Em pentatonic the entire time, or switch

to Am and Bm pentatonic when those bars are played.

Lyrics:

Woke up this morning and I had those Walking Blues (x2)

I wasn't walkin' nowhere 'cause I didn't have no floor!

Staring over the edge of the bed

My old lady lying next to me, I started to cry (x2)

She said "I'm gonna take this diploma,

I'm gonna slice you in the eye!"

Well I'm alright (he's alright) (x9)

'cause I got a degree!

Escaping through my window

There's a policeman on the lawn outside my home (x2)

I opened my mouth to scream

But my throat was full of foam

So I'm sittin' in this cell

My fortune dwindled to a thimble full of filth (x2)

I may spend the rest of my life in jail

But at least it's got a floor!

Alumni Blues

G D

All these words roll into one

Em C

Together we revolve around the sun

G D

And if you get the chance, watch the young children dance

C D

In a little while, you will see them smile

G D

Truth may dazzle gradually

Em C

It all comes out in the wash eventually

G D

Try to catch a gleam, if you know what I mean

C D

You may even see the cogs in the machine

[Chorus]

C G D

Reconvene, reconnect

C G D

raise a glass to the architect

C G D

Cause it turned out better

C G D

So much better

C G D Em

Than we ever did expect

G D

Find your treasures where you will

Em C

Don't you stop until you've had your fill

G D

Wherever you may go, look around take it slow

C D

There might be more to this than we all know

G D

And if we had the chance to see the rough draft

Em C

I bet the early plans would make us laugh

G D

And it never seems to help when we try to intervene

C D

Some things are better left unseen

ARRANGEMENT:

verse 2X

G7, F#7

wait on F chord for 8 "Axilla" 's.

Page's solo--play intro 8X (there are a few variations on this, but I'm too lazy to put them here.)

Break:

Eb Bb Ab Bb 4X last time go to F instead of Bb and wait for 6 axilla's.

intro 4X

"axilla" 8X (F chord)

intro 4X

The songs ends up on a Bb, then goes into that weird part at the end.

The chords are G7 and F#7, picked instead of strummed. You're

on your own for that spooky guitar overdub.

Axilla

(alternate transcription)

Intro: A# C# D# }4x

A#

I dropped the buzzard in the sand and trudged off slowly toward the town,

I needed dinner and a place where I could throw my weight around,

G

I detected faint axilla scent that put me off my appetite,

C F

But mouflon warring where I went renewed in me a need to fight,

[Repeat intro]

A#

Then reveling in mirror mask I soon was lost in foggy ditch,

Without a feather gray or white to tickle that piano witch,

G

Fearing that I must expose my worm to holographic haze,

C F

My Clinometer error rose and spawned in her new mawkish ways,

[Repeat intro x2, 2nd time building up to bridge]

Bridge:

D# A# G# A#

I woke the witch with reverence reserved for serpents, snails and slugs

D# A# G# A#

I pulled the witch from out the ditch and turned to face the furry thugs

D# A# G# A#

The sheep they smiled with teeth agleem, the weapons in their hooves revolved

D# A# G# F

I detected a prostatic ream--I gulped and felt my loins dissolve!!!!!

F

Axilla! (x6)

[Repeat intro]

F

Axilla! (x8)

but I like the sound of all the flat chords, personally.

F9

When I jumped off, I had a bucket full of thoughts

F9 Bb Ab

When I first jumped off, I held that bucket in my hand

F9

Ideas that would take me all around the world

Bb Ab

I stood and watched the smoke behind the mountain curl

Eb Bb Ab >F9

It took me a long time to get back on the train

(the chord pattern is the same for all the verses)

Now I'm gone and I'll never look back again

I'm gone and I'll never look back at all

You know I'll never look back again

I turn my face into the howlin' wind


See my face in the town that's flashing by

See me standing at the station in the rain

See me standing there beside the car

I left it all behind, again I'll travel far


When I jumped off, I had a bucket full of thoughts

When I first jumped off, I held that bucket in my hand

Ideas that would take me all around the world

I stood and watched the smoke behind the mountains curl

C7 Gm7 C7 Gm7

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

F Eb F Eb

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

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 tales,

C7 Gm7 C7 Gm7

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

C, Gm7, C, Gm7 (keyboard weirdness)

Here comes the ambassadors, 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.

It's easy sometimes we just coast along

Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9

But like it or not something always seems to go wrong

Cm7 f9 Cm7 F9

Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down

Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9

Sometimes they will have you there because they need someone around

Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9

Perhaps you'll receive invitations for tea

Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9

or perhaps you will laugh and you will make them all smile

Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9

Or maybe you'll join them cause they have to be

Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9

Perhaps you'll forget that you forgot for a while

Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9

Birds of a feather are flocking outside (4x)

Cm7 F9 (4x)

like whippets they dance in a curly queue dance

of pulses and ringing and campfire chants

of ritual drumming although at first glance

you thought you could run but you won't take a chance

it's not an experience if they can't bring someone along

they hang on emotions they bottle inside

they peck at the ground and they strut out of stride

Bold As Love

To make it easier, each line is a measure, for both the verses, chorus,

and the cool solo at the end.

A (E)

Anger! he smiles, towering in

(F#m) (D)

shiny metallic purple armor. Queen

(A) (E)

Jealousy, envy waits behind him, her

(F#m) (D) (C#)

fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground.

(D) (A)

Blue are the life giving waters taking for

(Bm) (G)

granted, they quietly understand.

(D) (A)

Once happy turqoise armies lay opposite, ready,

(Bm) G G#

but wonder why the fight is on.

Chorus:

A E

But there all, bold

F#m G

as love

(A) E

Yeah, they're all bold as

F#m G

love. Yeah!

(G) (G#)

2. My

Red is so confident, he flashes trophies

of war and ribbons of euphoria

Orange is young, full of daring, but

very unsteady for the first go round.

My Yellow in this case is not so mello. In

fact, I'm try'n' to say it's frightened like me.

And all of these emotions of mine keeps holding me from, uh,

giving my life to a rainbow like you. But I'm, uh,

yeah, I'm bold as love

yeah, yeah

Well, I'm bold, bold

as love, hear me talkin' girl.

I'm bold as

love, uh! Just ask

the Axis. He knows ev

'ry thing... Yeah! Yeah!

Solo over chorus changes, until the rhythm changes to triplet feel

(before drum solo), where the changes go

F#m D

A D (repeat this change until music drops out)

Then...

Bouncing Around the Room

G D A D

The Woman was a dream I had Though rather hard to keep

G D A

for when my eyes were watching hers They closed, And I was still asleep.

D A G (D)

For when my hand was holding hers She whispered words and I awoke

D A C G (D)

And faintly bouncing around the room, the echo of whomever spoke and I awoke

D A C G > A

and faintly bouncing around the room, the echo of whomever spoke.

G D A D

The place I saw was far beneath The surface of the sea

G D A

My sight was poor But I was sure The sirens sang their songs for me

D A G (D)

They dance above me as I sink I see them through, a crystal

D A C G (D)

haze & hear em bouncin round t room the never ending coral maze. a crystal

D A C G

haze & hear them bouncing round the room the never ending coral maze

C G A

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

Observing echoing footfalls

>From tennants wandering distant halls

Then this one is for you

All alone the life you lead

A silent diner where you feed

You bow your head pretend to read

Then this one if for you

If children playing all around

To you is noise, not pleasant sound

And you'd be lost on the playground


Slip past strangers in the street

There's no one that you care to meet

Longing for your TV seat

Am



If you're just staring at your walls

Play D7 lick twice then same for C7..repeat under the lyrics.

For this particular tune, I use this scale to jam - I don't

know if it's a real scale or mode since I am lame and I only

know pentatonics, but it is great to improvise melodically

over major chords

Take these notes and apply them in this position as well

as down around the 7th/9th frets (where you play the verse

riff) and use alot of slurs/hammers/pull-offs to get a

Trey-ish sounding jam over this tune. One of my fav's.

Lyrics:

Whoa!Whoa!Whoa!

Somebody's jumping in the tub with your brother (x2)

Whoa!Whoa!Whoa!

Somebody's definitely jumping in the tub with your brother (x2)

Jumpin in the tub with your cousin

Somebody's definitely jumping in the tub with your brother

Uncle!

Somebody's jumping in the tub with your brother!

Somebody's jumping in the tub with your mother!

Whoa!Whoa!Whoa!

Whether Trey plays these notes as power chords or not is debateable.

You can either play them this way or just play the notes on G string.

You told me of that secret place

I saw it when I met you the walrus on your face

Strike an Em and Im not sure of the words here

Continue as before with the lyrics:

????? (Im not sure about the fourth verse, something about a load of shit)

He went across the street and he called his dad

Now youll never get the raise you thought you had

Everybody started screaming when they saw the blood

Everyone was screaming when they saw the blood

Then strike an Em and sing the words Im not sure about

\=slide down

h= hammer on

p= pull off

Intro: At the beginning, Trey seems to just plays alterations of Em, and

holds them for 4 measures each while Fishman plays lays down a groove.

Main Riff: This is very similar, in fact, the same as the main riff in

Weekapaug Grove. This is how I think Trey plays it, and it sounds

pretty close.

On the album version Trey plays something like this between the verses, but live this

section is mainly improvised.

Starting at "give the director" these chords ensue in these voicings~

these chords continue until the stops which occur on the D/F# right after both

"dissector"'s, then continue through "whatever you do

take care of your shoe", then it goes back to the between verse funky fill riff before

this lick

During the bass solo & verses, alternate between E7 and A, using palm

muting. As the song progresses, Trey uses less and less muting, so use

your judgment.

Here are a few of the chords I've heard Trey "funk around on" to

fill this space with:

E7+9 Em7+9

E---------14----------------

B---9-----12----------------

G---7-----12----------------

D---8-----12----------------

A---7-----------------------

E---------12----------------

E7 A

Come stumble my mirth beaten worker

A7

I'm Jezmund the family berzerker

E7 A

I'm bought for the price of a flagon of rice

The wind buffs the cabin

You speak of your life

E7

Or more willingly Locust the Lurker

...and so on.

Follow this pattern for the verse using your right palm the mute the

sound and in between lines let it lose and crank it out real loud.

The chorus goes

G A

But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned

G E7

As I sat in their chairs 'til my synapses burned

G A

And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue

G A

Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun

G A

All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone

G

Can't this wait till I'm old?

(use main riff)

Can't I live while I'm young?

(use main riff)

Can't I live while I'm young?

It then goes on with E to A to G tickle

End of song progression.
