It's easy sometimes we just coast along
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
Sometimes they will have you there because they need someone around
Perhaps you’ll receive invitations for tea
or perhaps you will laugh and you will make them all smile
Or maybe you’ll join them cause they have to be
Perhaps you’ll forget that you forgot for a while

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

Hello everyone, I was bored yesterday afternoon, so I decided to transcribe
the music to Golgi. I am pretty sure that this is correct, but if you find a
mistake or know a better way to play this, please let me know. Also, I have
given the chord formations for those of you how may not know how to fret
some of these notes.

Golgi Apparatus: music notation for guitar w/lyrics from the “lyrics file”
(chords are placed over lyrics for emphasis, but the rhythm is obviously
much more complex)

[F#+] I look into the finance box just to check my status

[C/G](status)

I look into the microscope, See a Golgi Apparatus
Gm7(I) -> Am7 -> Fm7 -> Gm7(II) (SEE BELOW FOR CHORD FORMATIONS)

Golgi, oh, woe is me

You can’t even see the sea

Golgi, olgi, ho ooo olgi
Golgi
C9 -> C#9 -> D9

They call him lysasome ‘Cause he runs so fast

Runs like a junkyard dog with a brain of brass

Gm7(I) -> Am7 -> Fm7 -> Gm7(II) (SEE BELOW FOR CHORD FORMATIONS)

Golgi, oh, woe is me

You can’t even see the sea

Golgi, olgi, ho ooo olgi
Golgi
C9 -> C#9 -> D9

CHORUS:
I saw you…
(x3)
With a ticket stub in your hand[C/F]

I saw you….

F—>—–>———->————>——- (pedal on E string)

Under the light, middle of the night, couldn’t get it wrong…

So I had to….. (and into Trey’s most excellent solo…. tablature

Golgi Solo

From: Jonah.Seiger@um.cc.umich.edu

From: mdbruce@leland.Stanford.EDU (Michael David Bruce)

—> A few things for those who are not totally familiar with guitar
tablature notation:

Tablature cannot convey precise information about timing and the duration of
notes. Nor does it help you to understand harmonic structure. BUT, it is
very helpful for those like me who are not totally comfortable reading and
writing in music notation.

I hope that you can at least get the drift of Trey’s brilliant piece of
guitar playing from the notation below. I suggest you listen to the song
while reading/playing this for the first time. Pretty soon you’ll get it

The first thing that you should know about the golgi solo part is that it
is not in a straight (i.e multiple of 4) time signature–count it out!!

There are 15 beats per phrase (where you would expect 16). It doesn’t matter
how you do it, but I find three 4/4 measures and one 3/4 measure
convienient.

For the 1st part of the solo (starting @ 1:25), play:

Beats:( downbeat)
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

E|————————————|
B|–3–3-4-6-66-4-3—1->>6-4-3-4-6-4-|
G|–3–3-3-3-33-3-3—1—————|
D|–3–3-5-3-33-5-3—1———-3–5-|
A|————————————|
E|————————————|

^^^^

This little thingy is very important, IMHO. Trey does it quite a bit in
his playing. i.e. rather than just playing two notes consecutively, he
sticks another note in there (cf. The divided sky slow part). They’re not
always that easy to hear, but without them, the music loses its feel, it’s
color–everything. This is what makes it interesting.

The second half of the solo is the same thing with everything jacked up 2
frets (i.e. now in the key of C rather than Bb).

Above is for 4 repetitions, then go up two frets:

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

E|————————————|
B|–5–5-6-8-88-6-5—3->>8-6-5-6-8-6-|
G|–5–5-5-5-55-5-5—3—————|
D|–5–5-7-5-55-7-5—3———-5–7-|
A|————————————|
E|————————————|

Above repeats 3 times, and the fourth is played differently:

E|——————————————|
B|–5–5-6-8-88-6-5—>>8-6-4-6-8-9-11>>>13-|
G|–5–5-5-5-55-5-5—3———————|
D|–5–5-7-5-55-7-5—3—————-5–7-|
A|——————————————|
E|——————————————|

NOTE: numbers directly above one another (like 5/5/5 above) are played at
the SAME TIME; numbers that are not directly above one another (like
B/5…G/7 above) are played in succession.

AND THIS LEADS INTO THE SOLO….

Four times through.

After the solo (which I won’t repost), you go back to that main riff above
(here again, it’s two frets up–in C) and then suddenly, you chop it off
right after the end of measure three and play:

A ^ ^ ^ A ^ ^ ^ Asus4 ^ ^ ^ Asus4 ^ ^ ^

over and over again, until it feels just right. And of course, if you’re
phish, you change your volumes, lie down, jump up and down, play ditties
over that and so on. Then for that fantastic glorious build, you play

F ^ Eb ^ D ^ Eb ^ F ^ Eb ^ D ^ Eb ^ F ^ G ^ A ^ Bb ^ C ^ C# ^ D!!!!!!!!

And back to the chorus. All of these are played with the D-shaped chord and
then slid up and down the fretboard starting at fret 5. Play around with it.
Of course, I have seen Trey use the A-shaped chord as a substitute for the
first coupla bars. Depends on what you’ve been doing just prior to that. The
beauty is that with improvisational music, nothing is set in stone.

NOTES:

1) I have done my best to show the timing of the notes, but the rhythm is
difficult to convey in tablature. You’re going to have to listen to the song
to get the time.

2) A “>” or a “>>” means that the previous note “slides” up to the next… A
” ^^ ” means that the note is “hammered”

3) The numbers correspond to the FRET on which that particular STRING is
played

—————————————————————————-

VERSE 1
I am just a satellite, high above the atmosphere
Bouncing every thing you say to someone who is meant to hear
Sometimes on a rainy day, I lie in bed and dream of you
E A B E A (E A) x4
So blame it on the satellite, when your message can’t get through

VERSE 2
I am just a tiny wave, a minor ripple out at sea
Moving slowly towards the shore, burdened with uncertainty
I’m gaining power, losing speed, wondering as I near your door
E A B E A (E A) x4
Will you hold it open for the tidal wave approaching shore?

CHORUS
You’ve become an island in the hazy world surrounding me
Offering a vast reward each time I safely cross the sea
All too often I become lost in the fog and haze
D A E A (E A) x4
Clinging still, against my will, to promises of clearer days

SOLO (follows verse chords)

CHORUS
You’ve become an island in the hazy world surrounding me
Offering a vast reward each time I safely cross the sea
All too often I become lost in the fog and haze
D A E A (E A) x4
Clinging still, against my will, to promises of clearer days

VERSE 3
I am just a raindrop that accelerates without control
Losing bits and pieces in descent ‘til I’m no longer whole
I am just another shooting star above that you might see
Until I have your full attention I’ll be anything but me

Anything but me x4

repeat, improvise, jam.

The first time I came over I was bitten by your dog
You weren’t ever there ‘cause you were walkin’ in the fog
I call you up and plead and beg and talk to your machine
My friends say not to bother when you’re acting pretty mean

But I don’t need to bother you, no, I won’t play that part
I just want access to the inside of you heart
Access to your thoughts on the way that I should be
So I could start to change and maybe you could access me

Access me
Access me
Oooohhh
Oooohhh

You can tell me all about all the things you did at work
The guy who sits beside you and how he’s acting like a jerk
And you don’t have to open up the secrets of your soul
But if that’s the place you want me I’d be glad to play the toll

But I don’t need to bother you, no, I won’t play that part
I just want access to the inside of you heart
Access to your thoughts on the way that I should be
So I could start to change and maybe you could access me

Next verse has the same chords, except that just before going to a chorus, the last
is an E instead of a Bb.

Laughs the full light of my frown

(repeated in the background by the rest of the guys:”I’m wading in the
velvet sea”)

I took a moment from my day, and wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to your address, you’ll get it sometime soon unless

(repeat same chord structure rest of song)

The packaging begins to break and all the points I tried to make
Are tossed with thoughts into a room, my time leaks out, my life leaks in
You won’t find moments in a box, and someone else will set your clocks
I took a moment from my day, and wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to you…

There’s a new one fer all ya roly-poly phish heads!

Brett is in the bathtub
Making soup for the ambassadors
And I am in the hallway
Singing to the troubadours
The kings are all lined up
Outside the gate
And the autumn bells are ringing
But they’ll just have to wait
Where is the joker?
Have you seen him around
With his three coned cap
That he wears like a crown?
Have you seen his striped stockings
And heard his sad tale
About the kids under the carpet
And the purple humpbacked whales

Here come the ambassadors
They show up one by one
Brett is tasting all the soup
To see if it is done
Wendy’s on the windowsill
Waiting to be let in
And we’re all in the bathtub now
Making bathtub gin

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
Here comes the joker
We all must laugh
Cause we’re all in this together
And we love to take a bath.

#DOG-FACED BOY, by Phish
#
#Here’s and easy one fer ya:
#
I won’t spare a minute on the dog-faced boy
I won’t lend another hand to the worm girl of Hanoi
Don’t deplete my oxygen for a guy who’s turning blue
But ask me, and I’ll do anything for you

Whenever I think of you, it always makes me feel sad
Whenever I think of you, the best friend I ever had
Before I gave it up for nothing

Well, I lied and I cheated and it made me feel bad

G7------>

It made me feel guilty for not bein’ true
All the months I spent searchin’ for a way to explain
In the end all I could do was hang my head in shame

Whenever I think of you, oh darlin’, it makes me feel sad
’Cause you deserve better, and once I was it
Somehow my good intentions just got up and git

So I won’t waste a moment on the dog-faced boy
I won’t lend another hand to the worm-girl of Hanoi
Don’t deplete my oxygen for a guy who’s turning blue
But ask me, and I’ll do anything for you

"Express yourself-But listen to others."-----FISHMAN

Main riff: E (this is 1 of 10 million ways to play this lick)

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:

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!

NICU (In an Intensive Care Unit)
From: David Douglas McCallum
Note: NICU debuted as “In An Intensive Care Unit” – 3/6/92; NICU stands for Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit .

Eb Db Eb
Appendages flailing, you’re running at me
Ferocious, tenaciously clawing at me
The devious gelatin holding me fast
Miraculous now you let me ooze past.

Over the wall rushing rivers of sleaze
The tip of stalactites incising my knees
A slipper, a sand-dollar day at the shore
Nice evening at home that I dread even more

Would you please make clear to me
I’m peering out through your opacity
Though you rehearse tomorrow’s verse
Forgive me if I donUt sing in your key.

Look back on those days when my life was a haze
The gelatin lay on a truncated slate
Copernicus drank from a vessel that stank
The freemasons crank to the overflow tank

Bane of the weasel, fur biting is fun
Jump on the turnstile and watch me go round
Swim with the cactus and float with the stone
I try to convey what you strive to condone

Would you please make clear to me
I’m peering out through your opacity
Though you rehearse tomorrow’s verse
Forgive me if I don’t sing in your key.

Would you please [In all that dust and stone]
make clear to me [___ when you see me]
Why nothing is the first thing that I see
[‘? (possibly “Don’t go”)]
And if you do [In all that dirt and stone]
and I see you [___ when you see me]
Then you will be the nothing left for me
[‘? (possibly “Don’t go”)]

Here’s the lick on the Hampton CD. It all takes place within Eb Mixolydian’s root
position and gets played over the verses. (pinkie on the 11th fret). /slide up

Then if you want rake down the low E string to complete the vamp and quickly head
back into the SKa-like Eb form for more verses..That’s it. -MK
