Lawn Boy Album

song >>LAWN BOY

by >>PHISH

on the album of the same name...

transcribed by jeff johnston

The trick is to get used to the off- beat, which isn't too tough,

although you may want to listen to the album to get the feel right.

(By the way, the Slip Stitch and Pass version is COMPLETELY different--

it doesn't have a bass line or typical chords, but it still grooves

immensely, which shows just how awesome these guys are.)

Run Like an Antelope

As you all know, this tune is the jam to end all jams. The part spoken by

Trey is accesable from the disc liner.

1st section: D->A

2nd sect. : Em

3rd sect. : Em->D

After Trey says the stuff that at least I don't understand goes like this 1

time : B B B B B B B B

D / Am7

Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run/Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run

D / Am7

Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run/Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run

(really loud!) G -> F

And there's Antelope for 'ya! I hope you have a good time with it as it has

the capacity to greatly improve your playing and get you sweaty all at the

same time.

The Squirming Coil

From: Eric Berman (ericbe@microsoft.com)

The Squirming Coil of sunset

I keep within my reach

Tried yesterday to get away

and hitchhiked to the beach

I saw Satan on the beach

trying to catch a ray

He wasn't quite the speed of light

and the squirming coil

it got away.... It got away (4x)

\---------------

The muscles flex the mother's ring

She fastens children to her king

and sends him down the crooked street

When he returns, the birth's complete

Jimmy holds the Tannis root

The forest's tasty nectar shoot

The sun tips off the monarch's suit

from sequined sash to shiny boot

"I'd like to lick the coil some day

Like Iccarus, who had to pay

with melting wax and feathers brown

He tasted it on his way down"

Stun the puppy!

Burn the whale!

Bark a scruff and go to jail!

Forge the coin and lick the stamp!

Little Jimmy's off to camp
