The other tab you have for the song Gumbo, not only is it wrong you can't do
anything with it unless you have a keyboardist playing and you in the
background!
I am sending you this becuase this is the keyboard and guitar on guitar.  No
need for a keyboardist!
please post it ASAP!!!!!!
there is no better tab transcription then this one, because this is the
difinative work that cannot be surpased by anyone!!!!
peace,Erez

Phish-Gumbo
tabbed by-Erez (E-mOnEy!)

This is mostly a transcription of what you should play on guitar, but it's
mostly keyboards.

I am only showing you the chords!  Not how many times you strum so print
this and listen to the "A Live One" and play along!

Intro-
-------------------------------------|
-7-----------------------------------|
-8-------6-----------------------8^--|
-8---8---6----------------6-6--8-----|
-6---8---4---6-6-6--9-9-9------------|
-----6-------------------------------|

The rest of the time play these 4 chords.

------4-------------|
-7----4----6----9---|
-8----5----6----8---|
-8----6----6----8---|
-6----6----4----6---|
------4-------------|

Every so often it ends on this chord 606770 instead of 068890.

Lyrics>
There's a mouse starin' out of the window
His car is trapped in the snow
He's planning a family vacation
But he just can't go
Around the next corner's a red bird
His feathers are trapped in a sling
He's passed by some gunslinging parrot
Who's jealous he ain't got no grin
There ain't no time to stash the gumbo
Or rattle around in a cage
The sacrificed child's made bubbles
And spittle is everywhere enraged
In a hot sand or in a my feet
They're blistered and caked with debris
Chez rolez is guarding the tote board
While Angry piddles with glee
There's a fool writing notes out on sandpaper
He's sending them off to himself
He gets them a couple days later
Who put them along his top shelf
If you get tired of shavings
And carve up a good hunk of wood
Remembering to check on the sausage
He's got cooking somewhere look good

I hope this helps.  Peace,E-mOnEy!

 Gumbo-by Phish

 Intro-I'm not sure if the intro is single note, or pieces of chords, but
 I'll write it out as if it's chord pieces, and if you don't like how it
 sounds, then just play the bass note.

 E-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
 A-5--5--0--0--0--3--4--5--5--5--8--8--8--12--12--5--5-----------5-------|
 d-7--7--2--2--2--5--6--7--7--7--10-10-10-14--14--7-----7--7--5--7-------|
 G-7--7--2--2--2--5--6--7--7--7--10-10-10-14--14--7--------7--5--7-------|
 B---------------------------------------------------------6--5--6-------|
 E-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

 Verse/Chorus-These two are the same-the chords don't change for the rest
 of the song.
