Guyute
by Phish
Transcribed by Emil Hedaya ( tabs@redmedia.com )
Author's note: After having successfully finished this monster of a song, I realized
that there are many easier ways to play a lot of the parts to it. However, I'm not re-
writing it for a few reasons: (1) I have gotten used to the harder way and can pull
it off (2) it's a pain in the ass to re-write ANYTHING on a computer for guitar, and
(3) I have no time. So this note is just to say "I KNOW" before you write me a letter
saying that certain parts are easier played in different ways.
Intro:
C G F C
C G F G
Guyute was the ugly pig
C G F G
Who walked on me and danced a jig
C G F G
That he had learned when he was six
C G F G
Then stopped and did some other tricks
Am G C D
Like pulling weapons from his coat
C G C F
And holding them against my throat
C G C F
He lectured me in language strange
C G F C
Then scampered quickly out of range
[Repeat Chords, whistling over ]
[Repeat again, stopping at "coat" (D)]
{Sorry, no timing information is available}

This part is a little simplified, only because i can't
get exactly what Trey is playing (man, he's FAST!)

Very Fast, sort of country style (it takes practice - thanks
to Mark Strolle for this part)

Then comes a part which essentially goes like this, though
I have a feeling what Trey plays is a bit more rich, and correct:

This part works best if you can play the open A string, then hammer-on
and pull-off each note. Trey does it really fast. I think you can
just let the A String ring and it sounds the same, but make sure you
use plenty of distortion.
E--------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------
D--2-0-4-0-5-0-4-0-5-0-4-0-2-0-4-0-2-0-4-0-5-0-4-0-5-0-4-0-7---
A--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---
E--------------------------------------------------------------
Then Trey pulls something like this:
HO PO
E----------------------------------------------------------------------
B--5-5-3-5-3-0----3--2-------------------------------------------------
G-------------0---2--2-------------------------------------------------
D--------------0--0--2-------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, for this part, just kind of hammer on the third fret E string
and bend it up a half step, then let it go to sound open, then repeat..
you don't have to even pluck the string.. it'll get louder quickly.
It sounds like either Trey or Mike moves around onto different frets,
which I have indicated here, but you'll have to play along with a
recording to figure out the time for each one (it's wierd).
P-O P-O P-O P-O P-O P-O

E--8--0---9--0---------------------14--0-------------
Trey goes back into this again, but play it AN OCTAVE UP (14, 16,
and 17th frets -- it would just be a pain in the ass to re-transcribe):
E--------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------
D--2-0-4-0-5-0-4-0-5-0-4-0-2-0-4-0-2-0-4-0-5-0-4-0-5-0-4-0-7---
A--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---
E--------------------------------------------------------------
Use the same style for this part (open D string between notes)..
this is an approximation of what Trey does:
E--------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------
D--17-16-17-18-17-16-17-18-19-18-19-20-19-18-19-20-... etc.)---
A-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ring~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~---
E--------------------------------------------------------------
That whole sequence ends on Trey hitting a Db note (on the D string)
over and over again, until Fishman does the drumroll. Then Trey
hits the kick ass part composed entirely of highly distorted Unison Bends:
G D G C G F
Hold .... Hold...
E-------------------------------------------------------------
B--8--------10-------12---------13-------12-------10----------
G--10^(12)--12^(14)--14^(16)----15^(17)--14^(16)--12^(14)-----

G--14^(16)--12^(14)--17^(19)--16^(18)--15^(17)--13^(15)--11^(13)
D---------------------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat once, then an octave up (it helps here if you have a 24-Fret
Guitar ... Trey Does.. )
G D G C G F
Hold... Hold...
E--15-------17-------19-------20-------19-------17------------
B--18^(20)--20^(22)--22^(24)--23^(25)--22^(24)--20^(22)-------

G-----------------------17^(19)-16^(18)-15^(17)-13^(15)-11^(13)-
D---------------------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------
Then things slide down to a lightly strummed G Augmented Chord
with lyrics over it:
G+
E---3---
B---4---
G---4---
D---5---
A-------
E-------
The words here are unclear; anyone who knows them please e-mail me
them (tabs@redmedia.com), so here's what I could scrap together..
I'm bouncing like a newborn elf
I can't remain inside myself
Guyute glances in my eyes
and manages to hypnotize
Then back to the chord progression
Am G C D
and as I sleep the sleep of death
C G C F
he sucks from me my only breath
C G C F
that I had breathed since I was ten
C G F C
I hope this happens once again.

That's Pretty much all of it, minus a little here or there. If you
have any suggestions or corrections (especially for the lyrics section),
please please please e-mail me ( tabs@redmedia.com ) and I'll fix it.
