Stash
David Douglas McCallum (kcjonz@wam.umd.edu)
Okay, axe-slingers, here's my stab at tab for the opening jam of Stash.
The process of writing out tab for the computer takes so long that I got real lazy towards the end (actually right near the beginning)! I
figured that all that time could be used learning other stuff or just getting away from it all and lazing in the sun...SO it's kinda skeletal,
but I trust that you can figure it out.
For those of you who didn't see the profile of Trey in the August issue of Guitar Player (a good read, BTW), he drops a hint as to some
of the chords in the song... "It's a swing tune, basically a II-V-I kind of thing - Gm, Bb, Em7b5, A7b9, and then Dm". Funny thing, all
those chords are in there, but I haven't found a section with 'em in that order yet. I play Dm, Bb, Em7b5, A7b9 over the "maybe so,
maybe not" part.

pulling the pavement from under my nails
I brush past a garden, dependant on whales
the sloping companion I cast down the ash
yanked on my tunic and dangled my stash
zippping through the forest with the curdling fleas
to grow with them spindles, the mutant I sieze
I capture the dread beast who falls to his knees
and cries to his cohorts, asleep in the trees..
Play twice. move to awesome guitar solo..

"please don't do that"
control for smilers can't be bought
the solar garlic starts to rot
was it for this my life i sought
maybe so and maybe not
