Colonel Forbin
By Phish Tab by Richard Davis
Intro = G# Adim 4x
Verse =
G# C#m7 F#m7
Colonel Forbin stared up at the mountain
B
And wiped away the beads of sweat
E
That glistened on his brow
F#m7 G9 C#6
His tired feet were buried in the quagmire
G#
And his bloodshot eyes were all that lay between him
A# G#
and fullfillment of his vow
G# C#m7 F#m7
And he felt his fingers wrap around the knotted root
B
and he pulled his body upwards
E
to a sea green mossy boulder
F#m7 G9 C#6
and he dragged his weary carcass up the mountain
F#m7 G
And he climb so slowly
F#m7 G
and he climb so slowly
A F F#m7 A
Ahead-----à
A F F#m7 A
Ahead-----à
C#7
Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder
D G
And the rocks began to crumble overhead
A C#7
and tumbled down the mountain to the
D G
dismal swampthat lay beneath the jagged cliffs
A C#7
through which his path had led
D G
and the earth began to quake before his eyes
A C#m7
and the mighty mountain change before his eyes
D G
and he stood admist a sea of dust and rocks and stones
A C#m7
cascading down the mountain
D G
and a thousand birds were heading fo the sky
A Bm7
and the scared creed will be yours
D G
and if you wait until tomorrow
F#m7
the sacred creed will be yours
G
to devour
F#m7
yours
G
to seize
A F F#m7 A
and to obey----à
A F F#m7 A
obey------------à
Then you repeat the whole song with different lyrics.
Adim G9 C#6

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PHISH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
