for this tab i think you need a five sting
figured this out from the studio version

opening Groove - Play 4x 

G-------------------------
D-------------------------
A-3-------------(1)-------
E-------1-1-2-3-----------
B---4-4-------------------
  

Verses 

  P      P    P     P     P     P   P       
G-5------3----2-----5-----3-----2-------------
D-----------------------------------3---------
A---3-----------------3-------------------(1)-
E-----------1---2-3---------------1---2-3-----
B-----4-----------------4---(4)---------------


Choruses 
Basically the same as the verses, but he stops 
the slap feel sometimes, note the alterations with the C#

  P     P   P     P                       P                   
G-5-----3---2-----5-----------------------2----------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A---3---------------3---------------3-----------(1)-3-4----------
E---------1---2-3---------(1)-1-2-3-----1---2-3---------1-1-2-3--
B-----4---------------4-3-------------4--------------------------



Bridge #1
This part rolls on G octaves, with little nuances and ad-libs  
Here is one way to interpret it.  
                                      Etc.=>
G---------(0)------(0)-------------------(0)-
D---5---5--------5-------------5------17-----
A--------------------------------------------
E-3---3------3-3-------3-(3)-3---3>15--------
B--------------------------------------------


Guitar Solo - 8x
The intro groove is played throughout

G-------------------------
D-------------------------
A-3-------------(1)-------
E-------1-1-2-3-----------
B---4-4-------------------



Outro / Bridge #2
First 4x mirrors the 1st bridge (sort of), then he throws in some typical weirdness!
I fool around with the octaves and the open G string just to spice it up

G---------(0)------(0)-------------------(0)-
D---5---5--------5-------------5------17-----
A--------------------------------------------
E-3---3------3-3-------3-(3)-3---3>15--------
B--------------------------------------------

Then he adds this little alteration

G---------------------------------------------
D---5-----------5---5-------------5---5-------
A-----5-6-7-----------5-6-7-------------5-6-7-
E-3---------3-3---3---------(1)-3---3---------
B---------------------------------------------

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture KT Average	#1 by KT Brown at Sep 8, 2005 at 11:41 AM EST
	To me this song is about the phans at a show. There are some other meanings I can derive but I just picture being there all those times and it's a very fitting description of a solid Phish experience.

No Picture Adam Average	#2 by Adam Foreman at Sep 19, 2005 at 3:42 AM EST
	this is definately about fitting in, and doing things you wouldnt do normally, but you do it cause u want to make people laugh and to fit in

No Picture mike Average	#3 by mike wellspeak at Mar 19, 2006 at 2:01 AM EST
	i wouldn't say it's so much about fitting in, but more about bringing others along for the ride. when people are doing things they probably shouldn't be doing, they find as many people to bring along with them as they can, so they don't have to feel bad about themselves.

	So true. Well said pheelinphine.

No Picture chris Average	#5 by chris at Apr 2, 2007 at 1:28 AM EST
	This song works as commentary for the phish scene. Think about it.

No Picture Ian Professional	#6 by Ian Murphy at Sep 12, 2007 at 9:51 AM EST
