FluffHead Transcription by Eric Berman (ericbe@microsoft.com) Click here for the lyrics page for this song. Some chords that are useful: C(I) D9/11(I) G6(I) F2(I) G(II) F2(II) P P P P E|--0--------0------10-------8------3------3--| B|--1--------3-------8-------6------0------1--| G|--0--------0-------0-------0------0------2--| D|--2-3-2----4-5-4---9-10-9--7-8-7--0------3--| A|--3--------5------10-------8------2---------| E|----------------------------------3---------| The additional notes shown after each chord rock up and back to the sus- 4 version of the chord; listen to the song and you'll hear where that note goes. The song starts out like this: |: C(I) D(I) G(I) F(I) :| (4x, I think) Then G(II) F2(II) 4x G(II) F2(II) G(II) F2(II) Fluffhead was a man G(II) F2(II) G(II) F2(II) With a horrible disease G(II) F2(II) G(II) F2(II) Could not find no cure G(II) F2(II) G(II) F2(II) Won't you help him if you please' C(I) D(I) G(I) F(I) C(I) D(I) G(II) Fluff-Head! C(I) D(I) G(I) F(I) C(I) D(I) G(II) Fluff-Head! Next verses just like the first: Fluff came to my door Askin' me for change His eyes were clear and pure But his mind was so deranged Fluff went to a banker Askin' for some bills The banker said, "I ain't got that But I sure got some powerful pills."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foam From: ericbe@microsoft.com (Eric Berman) Click here for the lyrics page for this song. Foam is a fairly straighforward solo to play, but it's a lot of fun nevertheless. The solo works very directly from the chords: if you look at the notes of the solo, it's really just arpeggiations that outline the chord changes. The beauty of the solo (IMHO) is how each chord leads into the next, and how the solo anticipates the chord change in such a natural way.

Here's what I could figure out of this crazy tune. My tab features a new [for me] notation underneath that designates what fingers I use for each note, as some of the stretches might not be that easy or obvious to some players. Of course, this is subjective, and if you figure out an easier way to play it, please let me know. Intro chords: Am7 F7 1st verse - no chords (*Guess* what the lyrics are! ;^)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Divided Sky From: Kirk Mehtlan (KM1324@ark.ship.edu) From: Eric Berman (ericbe@microsoft.com) Click here for the lyrics page for this song. Intro theme: |: A D9/A (4 times) C/A A(9) :| C/A E (A) "Ahh... Divided sky, the wind..." The chords are played like this: A C D9 E:--0---0---12--| B:--5---8---10--| G:--6---9---11--| D:--7---10--12--| A:--0-------0---| This is followed by a few measures of really ecclectic stuff that I haven't fully figured out (yet). The ecclectic portion, however, ends with 6 notes that lead into some relatively straightforward chords; no timing information is shown below, you have to listen to the song to see where the changes are. The 6 notes are G A B G# A# C, and the chords are: |: A A/C# G/D G/B A/C# D/A G/B A :| D9 The D9 here is played with an open E string, like this:
E:--D90- B:--3- G:--2- D:--0- A:----
This leads into the following chords that are in something like a 15/8 time; it flows very naturally, but is not a straight 4/4 (I think it jumps around; I haven't really broken it down all the way yet). Each pair of chords in parentheses below is repeated 3 times. (Am7 Bm7) (Cm7 Dm7) (Ebm7 Fm7) (F#m7 Abm7) (Am7 Bm7) I'm fairly certain that Trey is using the standard Jazz fingering for these minor 7 chords: Am7 Bm7 (etc.) E:--5-----7-| B:--5-----7-| G:--5-----7-| D:--5-----7-| A:----------| E:--5-----7-| The idea is that you use your 2nd finger on the 6th string and the 3rd finger barred across the other 4 strings, and you play all of these chords in the same way, just changing your position on the fretboard. Anyhow, this leads directly into the first guitar solo. The bend on the first note and the slide, pull-offs, hammer ons, and vibrato, are the keys to playing this right. Again, no timing information is shown (sorry).

Notice the implied notes (in parentheses); these are sometimes played, sometimes not, but they are very important to the feel of the song. Don't emphasize them too much; they should be used as passing guide tones. Solo 2:

This repeats 4 times, the fourth time ending on a BbMaj7 instead of an F, then it plays this bridge:
Dm7 Am7 BbMaj7 /S F E|----10-12-13----10-13-12----10-12-10-17-15-13------| B|-10----------10----------13-------------------13---| G|---------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------|

This leads into (yes, you guessed it)....

Here's how to play the main riff chords in the song. The chords are shown in the inversion that you should use, top note on top and bottom note on bottom: F/C F+/C# Dm F7/Eb BbMaj7/D BbmMaj7/Db Am7 Gm7 C7 --- --- --- ---- --- --- --- --- --- A A A A A A G Bb Bb F F F F F F E G G C C# D Eb D Db C F E D (Notice that in the BbMaj7 and BbmMaj7/Db, the Bb is implied. When Mike comes in on the bass, the bass plays the Bb, but the organ doesn't. Likewise, the A isn't stated in the Am7 until Mike plays it on the bass.) There are other chords in the song, but the fingering on them isn't as important as for these, so you can use whatever is comfortable. Most of the song, especially at the start, has an "oom-pah-pah" feel (which kind of makes sense, since the song is in 3/4.) To play the chords correctly, play the bass note, then the other two notes twice. For example, the intro starts like this: F/C F+/C# Dm F+/C# ----- ------ ----- ------ A A A A A A A A F F F F F F F F C C# D C# .... Find a good Hammond patch to play it with and your all set...
