Date: Wed, 25 Feb 1998 18:28:58 PST From: Jeff Johnston Subject: p/phish/lawn_boy_tab 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.) e=-12--11-----9---7--------7--------9-----7--------------------------- B=-10--9------9---7------7----------9-----7--------------------------- G=-10--9------8---7----7------------8-----7--------------------------- D=-10--9------9---7--7--------------9-----7--------------------------- A=------------9---7-----------------9-----7--------------------------- E=-------------------------------------------------------------------- ...all through the night, e=-------------------9-----7---------------9-----7-------------------- B=-------------------9-----7---------------9-----7-------------------- G=-------------------8-----7---------------8-----7-------------------- D=-------------------9-----7---------------9-----7-------------------- A=-------------------9-----7---------------9-----7-------------------- E=-------------------------------------------------------------------- when there's no direct light, and a thin veil of clouds e=-------------------------7--5--4------------------------4---------5- B=-------------------------9--7--5------------------------4---------5- G=-------------------------7--5--4------------------------5---------6- D=-------------------------9--7--6------------------------4---------5- A=-------------------------7--5--4------------------------6---------7- E=-------------------------7--5--4------------------------4---------5- keeps the stars out of sight..
