Quick explanation of how this is laid out...
When I have a chord name listed play the riff that's listed below the chord name below
me (except for the very last chord [G*])
for an example let's say the song is at the part where Trey is singing
"There is a tower...

Intro= SOUND OF TEAPOT STEAMING... then Gm x4
Gmthere is the tower like a solitary flower standing in the snow as the wolves all wait below
Cmand you're walking on the ledge throwing bread crusts off the edge
Gmas you sing in voice so clear and my name I think I hear
Fmconcealed within the theme
Cmthen it disappears as Gmsteam
Gmand I'm standing far below watching wolves you seem to know as your voice still carries
on in your never-ending song
Cmand my blood begins to boil and my bones melt into oil
Gmhissing liquid in the snow as my body sinks below
Fmand a ripple sends a beam
Cmof sunlight dancing through the Gmsteam
Gmmy now unfettered soul has direction I control to your tower I draw near but do I see a
trace of fear?
Cmthe approaching sound of hooves now scatters all the wolves
Gmyou briefly watch the horseman ride then you quickly run inside
Fmthe rider's weapons gleam
Cmwhile the horse's nostrils Gmsteam
Gmthere's no time to reflect, who is this man? I must protect you in the rider's hand I
see he holds your prison's only key
Cmhe glances up and glares and then he starts to climb the stairs
GmI can tell you're terrified so I quickly go inside
Fmbut then I hear a fateful scream
Cm G*
as your soul joins mine as steam
JAM!
Not exactly sure what the chords are for this I would recommend just usinf the verse
riffs and just kind of have fun with it
(That's what Phish is all about anyway)
To get Trey's style down you really have to listen to the song check out the New Year's
Version for the best quality on youtube.
HAVE A GREAT DAY
