The Lizards

[Walker done done]

Here's an alternate outro, which I got from watching the new Clifford Ball DVD's:

And I cleaned up the tab, for my own purposes, to make it easier to read:

Lizards
Phish

C                   G          Gm           F
Passing through the corridor I came upon an aging knight
    Fm                                C      C-5
Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor
G/9           G9             G6/9        E7
He was on his way to see the king
F°(3)   F°(6)   F°(9)
Wilson, Wilson, Wilson

   C                  G                  Gm         F
He led me through the streets of Prussia talking
      Fm                                                C         C-5
As he tried to crush a bug that scurried underneath his boot heel
   G/9              G9                    G6/9        E°   E°
He said there was a place where we should go

      F                  FF            G            GG
So he led me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which
   Am               AmAm             F
We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring
                     Fm          C           C-5
The knight grew very quiet as we stood there
        G/9           G9           G6/9             D6          C
Then he lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing

chorus:
                                G                           
He said I come from the land of darkness
         F                     C
I said I come from the land of doom
          C                     G
He said I come from the land of Gamehendge
         F               C
From the land of the big baboon
        C                 G
But I'm never never going back there
      F             C
And I couldn't if I tried
         C                     G
'Cause I come from the land of Lizards
        F                       G
And the Lizards they have died
        F                       G
And the Lizards they have died
        F                       G
And the Lizards they have died
        F                       C
And the Lizards they have ...


Piano solo:                |1.-- |2.---
   C:   C  C  Dm Dm7 G7 G7|C  C |G7 G7
   B:   C  C# D  C   D  D |E  E |D  D
   Es:                    |     |

He told me that the Lizards were a race of people practically
Extinct from doing things smart people don't do
He said that he was once a Lizard too (ahhh ahhhhh ahhhhhhhhh)

His name was Rutherford the Brave and he was on a quest to save
His people from the fate that lay before them.
Their clumsy end was perilously near

The Lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened
By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book
In all of Prussia only one existed
And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook

[chorus] [piano solo]

The Helping Friendly Book, it seemed, possessed the ancient secrets
Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor
The trick was to surrender to the flow

We walked along beneath the moon, he lead us through the bush 'till soon
We saw before our eyes a raging river
He said that we could swim it if we tried

And saying this, the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms
Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk
And as his body disappeared before me
I bowed my head in silence and remembered all thoughts that he had thunk

[chorus]

Repeat Verse and chorus twice more, ending the chorus the second time with the
following passage in place of the "died!" in the first
"and the lizards they have died!" lyric

CHORUS III:  Whoa whoa whoa...
   C:       G         F     G F G F...

Piano solo II: (this part comes after the chorus, but instead of playing that
final C, play the first chord of the part below and continue)

PIANO SOLO: WHOAAA
       C:   Abmaj7  Gm7  Bbmaj7  Am7 end: D  Dsus4 (4x)
       B:   Ab      G    Bb      A


This part culminates by playing an Am instead of the Am7, then playing a D > Dsus4
chord figure 4 times, which leads back into the G F figure as in CHORUS III. End
the CHORUS III this time with the staccato C chord, followed by 16th-note bass C
notes until the guitar melody enters. The first time through up until the second
ending, only the bass notes of the indicated chords should be played.
Refer to the VERSE section above for the proper notes...

[oh, alright! here they are: C:   C  G  Gm F  Fm Fm C  C-5 G/9]
[                            B:   C  B  Bb A  Ab Ab G  Gb  G  ]





C (repeat)
E|------------|
B|------8-8---|
G|----------9-|   This picking pattern is the basis for the chords
D|10-10-------|   with notes on the D, G, and B strings
A|------------|
E|------------|

How to read:
   --chord:  what I believe the chord is, in guitar notation.
   --bass:  what I feel is the bass note.  Note:  this note may not
            be in the chord!  It may be a passing tone to another
            chord.  So C/B means a C chord with a B in the bass.
   --strings:  just about the whole song can be played on the
               E, D, G, and B strings, so I have included the frets.

This is what Trey plays towards the last half of Page's piano solo, right into the
last "whoa, whoa, whoa, etc." The whole thing is played moderately fast, like any other Trey arpeggios.
