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.

(Notice: the rest of the solo is simply octaves on the bass note of the
chord. Kind of makes it simple. My notes are only approximate; the

Dinner and a Movie
From: kcjonz@wam.umd.edu (David Douglas McCallum)
Click here for the lyrics page for this song.
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! ;^)
Am7Let's go out to dinner and see a F7movie
Am7Let's go out to dinner and see a F7movie
Am7Let's go out to dinner - Bband see a movie
BLet's go out to dinner and see a Cmovie

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).

The organ plays on the F chord very quietly as the second solo starts.
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|----12-14----14-------14-12-14-15-12-14-15----|
D|-15-------15----------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------|
The solo repeats 2 more times (substituting the BbMaj7 on the last time
again), then plays the bridge again with more distortion on the guitar, then
repeats the solo 2 more times, again substituting the Bbmaj7 and holding the
last note as long as possible.
This leads into (yes, you guessed it)....
Solo 3 (Ending theme):

E:--17------14-15-17-------------14-15-17----------------|

B:--14-------15-15-------17----14-14-12-14-15------------------------|
(*Note: an alternate way to notate this progression is Em Eb+ G/D C#mb5;
this highlights the falling baseline a bit better at the expense of making
the chords seem a lot more complicated.)
Finally, the outtro chords are as follows:
|: D D/C D/B D/A :| D D/C D/B Bb6 Eb Eb/Db Eb/C B6 E E/D E/C# C6 B E

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...
