Song: Cavern Artist: by Phish from A Picture of Nectar transcribed by Drew Best
Ok...this song is actually very easy. 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 EE It's later than we think DA before you slip into the night EE you'll want something to drink DA
Steal away before the dawn, GD and bring us back good news GB
But if you tread in primal soup EE 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 DA will make the rudiments of gruel CG
Deduct the carrots from your pay EE 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 EADA A mudrat detector, a ribbon reflector EADA A cushion convector, a picture of nectar EADA A virile disector, a hormone collector EADA
play this several times, and then say:
whatever you do, take care of your shoes! EADA
