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. Em E-------------0--------|-------------0------| B-------------0--------|-------------0------| G-------------0--------|-------------0------| D-------------2--------|-------------6------| A-------------2--------|-------------7------| E-----12\0----0--------|-----12\0----0------| 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.

These are the basic chords..that is, if you aren't playing with a keyboardist, which you probably aren't, play these. If you do have a keyboardist to play with, then you should try to figure out exactly what Trey does. But this sounds fine, trust me. (play these chords in the intro also) your time is near the mission's clear E E It's later than we think D A before you slip into the night E E you'll want something to drink DA Steal away before the dawn, G D and bring us back good news GB But if you tread in primal soup E E please wipe it from your shoes. DA Just then a porhole pirate scourged the evening with his cry and sanctuary bugs deprived a monkey of its thigh A dust arose and blocked my nose before I could think twice, Despite the scut that bubbled up I gave some last advice: The flesh from Satan's dogs D A will make the rudiments of gruel CG Deduct the carrots from your pay E E you worthless swampy fool DA Exploding through fields and few and swimming in the mire the septic maiden's gargoyle tooth demented me with fire I drifted where the current chose afloat upon my back And if perchance a newt slimed by I'd stuff it in my sack SoonI felt a bubble form somewhere below my skin but with handy spine of hedgehog I removed the force within Suzie then removed her mask and caused a mighty stir the angry crowd responded taking turns at grabbing her The foggy cavern's musty grime appeared within my palm I snatched Rick's fork to scrape it off with deadly icy calm The crowd meanwhile had taken Sue and used her like a rag to mop the slime from where the slug had slithered with the bag In summing up, the moral seems a little bit obscure... Give the director a serpent deflector E A D A A mudrat detector, a ribbon reflector E A D A A cushion convector, a picture of nectar E A A A virile disector, a hormone collector EADA play this several times, and then say: whatever you do, take care of your shoes! EAA If you have any questions/comments/corrections, I'm at JestrsReve@aol.com. I typed this right after I figured it out, so it might need a little revising!
