We look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
And these crimes between us grow deeper

Take these chances
Place them in a box Until a

Lights down you up and die

Verse
Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well
His concerns he forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming

All the little ants are marching

Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by weight loss
Program cutting the corners there's a loose end loose end
Cut Cut
On the fence so not to offend
Cut Cut

Lights down you up and die

-----------------------------------------------------------

i can also hear a second guitar, playing just D-G/G-D on the verse
part, and i've seen the "all the ants are marching" section written
out as bass triads; G (3 2 0 x x x) D/F# (2 0 0 x x x) E (0 2 2 x x x).
it sounds good either way to me and in the end it's up to your ear.

chords:
Bm/F#: 2 2 4 4 3 2
A    : x 0 2 2 2 0
G    : 3 2 0 0 0 3 or 3 5 5 4 3 3

Tripping Billies
----------------------------------
Transcribed by:

----------------------------------

A Few notes -- Yes, that verse riff is as hard as it looks. the key to it
(and most any dmb song) is to use your pinky for any note you can't quite
reach. just practice.

Opening riff found on most pre r2t tripping billies:

e ----------------------------------------------------------
B ----------------------------------------------------------
G -6-----6-----4-4--4--4-4-4-4--6-----6-----4-4--/7--7-7-7-7
D -2-----2-----2-2--2--2-2-2-2--2-----2-----2-2---0--0-0-0-0
A -x-----x-----x-x--x--x-x-x-x--x-----x-----x-x---x--x-x-x-x
E -5-----5-----5-5--5--5-5-5-5--5-----5-----5-5--/7--7-7-7-7

sometimes repeated once more, other times repeated many times with
vocal jam

next riff/opening riff as found on r2t:
this riff is used throughout the song, and is easiest to master if
you use index finger for all 2s and 5s on the low e-string, your
ring finger for all 3s and 7s on the low e-string, your middle finger
on all 2s and 6s on the d-string, and your pinky for all 4s and 7s on
the d-string. and an easier way to master this song is to watch dave
carefully if you ever get the chance. it may sound like a simplistic
way, but if you can get up closer to him, you'd be amazed at how his
progressions stand out in your mind when you get back to your own axe,
even if you were standing thirty feet away from him.

Hey!

G C Am F Dmajsus4(+9)
Would you like to play?

G C Am
With a thought of a friend

Am F Dmajsus4(+9)
In a distant passing stage.

G C Am F Dmajsus4(+9)
While you lie around

G C Am
With your hands up and out

F Dmajsus4(+9)
So resigned you will fall down

G C Am F Dmajsus4(+9)
While all you around here play

G C Am F Dmajsus4(+9)
Wild on the warm and far away

G C Am F
While all you around here play

Em Am
The days keep scribbling themselves

F
In tidy lines

G C Am F Dmajsus4(+9)
Would you like to play?

G C Am
With a fool holding hands

Am F Dmajsus4(+9)
With a one-eyed jack of spades

G C Am F Dmajsus4(+9)
While all on the deck they sing

G C Am F Dmajsus4(+9)
All of the captain's cards are kings.......Still

G C Am F Em
He and the queen are lost at sea

Am F
I hope it isn't you and me.

G C Am F Dmajsus4(+9)
And I'll be back 'round again

G C Am F Dmajsus4(+9)
Yes I'll walk in time with you old friend

G C Am F
And we'll find that place

Em Am
That we had danced in so long ago

D C F Dmajsus4(+9)
And In plays to write the wire in

Am
I'll come back again

D C F Dmajsus4(+9)
Torching time talking rhymes in

Note that he in his usual style he varies the transitions and rhythms so be
creative

Chorus:

The step motion in the bass is something I am not sure exactly if he plays
but I get the feeling of, and that is what I used when I performed the song.
If you just want the chords then ignore then tab in between them. Also,
listen to his rhythmic strumming variations and also let yourself have some
fun with the song. I'll try and remember the solo in there too and send it
later on. If anyone has any questions email me at [email protected].

Here is yet another tid bit from Justin Crowell:

When playing I'll back you up, I play 2nd verse chord not as an Ab but
as an E was an Ab in the bass.
-4-
-5-
-4-
-6-
-7-
-4-
Just a simple C-form bar chord. Dave also uses this chord formation to
play the F in Jimi Thing, which is what tipped me off in the first
place.
When you play the chord in the C form you can get more of the full chord
sound that Dave has.

Here is a tab of the solo:
