Show Of Life

[Walker done done]

This was over at Emil's site but I've reworked it for accuracy.  Feel free to make changes if necessary.  This one's starting to grow on me.  Doh!  I'm a sucker for a good slow song.

If you copy and paste this into Word it should format ok (if not just change the format to Courier New, 10 pt font)

A                 D
It's no easy road, this struggle and strife
Bm                A
We find ourselves, in the show of life
A                      D
What's on the schedule, what's on your plan?
Bm                 A
Do you ever ignore, what you don't understand?
Bm                          A
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know
      Bm                             A
I just fasten my seat belt wherever I go
         F#m                      
It's been perfectly planned
    Bm
It's completely insane
                                    A                        (repeat intro)
It's a revolving cast but it's the same old game


A               D
Waves of people, they come and they go
Bm                A
Shine for a while, in this marvelous show
A                 D
It's limited time, that we exist
Bm                     A
We slowly make our way, into the mist
D               A
My thoughts are racing
     D                             A
I see faces of the friends that I recall
D             D/C#   Ab   F#m
I'd like to   take   this time
B            E5
To thank you all


A                         D
Just as the blind imagine, what it is to have sight
Bm                      A
We slowly take a stroll, into the night
A                 D
It's no easy road, this struggle and strife
  D    D/C# Bm        n/c            A        D
We find our  selves... in the show of life
              A        D
In the show of life
              A        D
In the show of life

(Mike/Page: Find ourselves right here)

I've liked this one since I saw it at terminal 5 last jan.  Glad it made the jumP to Phish.  This is how Trey does the intro.

I didn't really get into this one yet but I agree with Kevin's tab on the main riff at first glance.

I think you're right Kev.  This video shows some nice up close playing, including the intro:
