Dinner and a Movie

From: kcjonz@wam.umd.edu (David Douglas McCallum)

Here's what I could figure out of this crazy tune. My tab features a new

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! ;^)

Let's go out to dinner and see a movie

Let's go out to dinner and see a movie

Let's go out to dinner - and see a movie

Let's go out to dinner and see a movie

Divided Sky

From: Kirk Mehtlan (KM1324@ark.ship.edu)

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:

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:--0-

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).

Solo 1:

1

/ P P P P H ~

E|------9----------------------------------------------------------|

B|-12-----12-9-9------------------10-9-------12----------------10--|

G|---------------11-9-----9------------9--------11-(9)-------------|

A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

This repeats twice, on the second time playing this bridge:

E|------9-------------------------------------------9-9-11-12-|

B|-12-----12-9-9------------------------10-11-11-13-----------|

The solo repeats twice more, ending like this:

D|--------------------11------7--9--11---9---11--9--7--12---11----10-|

A|----------------------------7--7-------7-------7--7--10---10----8--|

E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

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:

H H H P

E|----------13---------------13-12-10----12-10----12-(10)-12-10----|

B|-------10---------------10----------12-------12---------------13-|

G|-10-12------------10-12------------------------------------------|

G|-10-12-----------10-12----------(12)-----12----------------------|

D|-------------(10)------------------------------------------------|

A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

This repeats 4 times, the fourth time ending on a BbMaj7 instead of an F,

then it plays this bridge:

Dm7 Am7 BbMaj7 F

/S

E|----10-12-13----10-13-12----10-12-10-17-15-13------|

B|-10----------10----------13-------------------13---|

E|----------------------------------------------|

B|----------------15-13----------------------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):

D D/C Bm7 D/A Em Em/Eb Em/D Em/C#*

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

B:---------------------15-17-----------------------------

E:---------19----15-17-19-----

B:---------------------------

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

B:---------------------------------------

D D/C Bm7 BbMaj7

E:-17-14----19-17-15-14------------

B:-------15-------------15-17-15---

A D D/C Bm7(D/B) D/A, etc.

E:-----------------15-14---------------------------------------------

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

--- --- --- ---- --- --- --- --- ---

 

 

 

(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:

----- ------ ----- ------

 

C C# D C# ....

Find a good Hammond patch to play it with and your all set...

"Circus theme" Intro:

 

 

It was late one fall night at a fairground near town

BbMaj7/D BbmMaj7/Db F/A

When Esther first saw the Armenian man

Who grovelled toward her and stood by her side

With a bucket that swung in his hand (Bass joins in here>

His grin stretched the folds of his pasty white cheeks

BbMaj7 BbmMaj7 F/A

And his lips hurled a dollop of murk on the curb

And the lights from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle

That flashed in his hollow eyed stare

(same)

He said "Little girl, you can chop off my legs

And then peel off my socks if you want to.

But I'd rather you took this old puppet from me

That I hold in my pail as we speak."

(same except transition chords at end of verse)

And he stood looking down at the innocent girl

And she stared at the bucket bewildered

Til he lifted the doll for the young girl to see

Gm7b5/Db Eb <--transition chords

And a giant smile grew on his face

She saw the doll's eyes and she couldn't resist

And she thanked the man quickly and ran to the church

And she burst through the door with puppet held high

And a hush filled the chapel, and the people looked mean

 

 

 

 

 

 

Esther tried in vain to pacify the mob

Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl

The frenzied congregation struggled desperately to fetch

The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's leather sack

(Dm7 arpegiation on guitar/piano:)

(same chords as earlier verses)

Through the window of the church a storm began to rage

And Esther knew the time had come to flee

She scurried down the aisle toward the doorway in the distance

And out into the rainstorm where she felt she would be free

But the wind was blowing harder

And her skirt began to billow

Until finally her feet began to lift

And she rose above the people and the houses

and the chimneys

Gm7b5/Db Eb

And Esther and the doll were set adrift

Floating higher over the hills, and the valleys and treetops

they'd flutter and glide

Soaring and turning suspended on air

With the earth far below them they'd tumble

And dive through the clouds

"Flying jam" chord progression:

E->Em->F#m7->F#->B

C7 transition to guitar solo, then chords from the verses under the solo,

then back to the flying jam chords. At the end of this, hold the B chord and

play the following B arpeggio on the guitar:

B D# F# D# (repeat)

(B arpeggiation)

And she began to plummet earthward till she

Landed in the nasty part of town

Em (Bass goes E->Eb->D->Eb and repeats)

She glanced about the village sure to find the evil men

Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of night

Nervously she fumbled for the pouch that held the

Puppet on her rump.

(Same)

Feeling quite outnumbered Esther hid behind

A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited

Till the dawn

Cause it would have been a blunder to

Succumb to a hoodlum on the prowl

When the morning came, she wandered through the streets

Along the chilly lake that lay beside the town

At last a peaceful moment, but she thought she heard a sound

A7 A6 A Dm7 (arpeggiation)

It was an angry mob of joggers coming up to knock her down

(same chords as verses)

As Esther stood and shook her head

The joggers were approaching

And she knew she had no choice left but to swim

As the frosty water sank its bitter teeth into her hide

She tried to slide the heavy clothing from her skin

Naked now she made her way toward the shore

When suddenly she felt a tiny tugging at her toe.

And the puppet she'd fogotten wrapped its tiny

Gm7b5/Db Eb

Little arms around her ankle and wouldn't let her go.

Ab etc...

The waves seemed to open and swallow her whole

As the doll pulled her down through the eerie green deep

And the sound of the laughing old man filled her ears

As she drifted away to a tranquil

E (flying jam)

And motionless sleep.

Cool guitar solo over flying jam:

Fee

From: Eric Berman (ericbe@microsoft.com)

From: David Douglas McCallum (kcjonz@wam.umd.edu

Click here for the lyrics page for this song.

In the cool shade of the banana tree

On the rugged trail toward the balcony

A child of the twentieth century

A dried up Goliath and a weasel named Fee

(same chords for each verse)

Far away in another place

A fading beauty named Milly Grace

A gospel singer with pocks on her face

And a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace

Fee was a Buddhist prodigy

Long past the age of maturity

Someday he knew it would set him free

Like it did for Floyd the chimpanzee

Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life

That's completely free.

You're racing with the wind

You're flirting with death

So have a cup of coffee

And catch your breath

Piano solo after the chorus:

Fee first met Milly in a bar in Peru

His heart was jumping like a kangaroo

Like a beast in a cage in an old Dutch zoo

It was hopping and thumping in wooden shoes

But Floyd was jealous and alone

He wanted Milly for his own

A desperate craving in his bones

"Their love", he said, "I will not condone."

Then one day on a ship to Quebec

Floyd found Milly on a lover's trek

He picked up a bottle and broke off the neck

It sliced through the air, and Fee hit the deck

Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life

That's completely free

You want to stay with Milly

Until you're dead

But you just got a bottle

Upside your head

Milly turned and began to scream at Floyd

She said "You think you're pretty mean"

And though she was as thin as a small string bean

She slammed him in the face with a nectarine

Floyd fell back over the edge of the ship

Till he hung from the rail by his fingertip

Milly said, "Floyd I'll make you lose your grip

With this tiny piece of paper I can make you slip"

So Milly took that paper and did the deed

Floyd hit the water with astonishing speed

And as the sharks circled and began to feed

Milly knew her weasel was finally free

Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life

That's completely free

Floyd is dead; he's nothing but a ripple

Cause Milly took that paper

And sliced him on the nipple

Also, the key you put it in is the old one that they recorded it in for

Junta and used to play years ago. Nowadays they have dropped it one half

step. This allows the use of open chords [which Trey did, when I watched

him] and is a bit easier on the vocal chords - mine anyway. I would hope

that the full version would make it into the CHORDS file.

P.S. The version of Fee from Ian's Farm - 8/27/87 has the piano solo section

going through twice each time...more room for Page to stretch out =^)
