The words are all wrong, I know.. someone mail them to me, but for the time being this is what I've got:

 A Dmaj7 A Dmaj7 I've alternated my meager flock to the shores of the Baltic Sea

 A C# F#m B E The teeth of time have stowed the rhyme of how things should(n't) be  F E Eb Bb

My cave, my house, my turning wheel, my little docking pup

 B Ab  

The march of Colonel Forbin, and his fleet hound called McGrupp

(Hit Trey's favorite chord)

The grime of countless workdogs has collected in my sink

I tie my nose with spandex hose before i get a drink

We lay on frozen warthogs, with its poison in our minds

While the ferns that spot our children are encased in orange rinds... (Hit Trey's Favorite Chord )

 F#m E D C#

All times and seasons are the reasons people and their clans

 F#m E D C#

Have stowed the Famous Mockingbird with glue and rubber bands

 D E F#m G

They writhe and cry in agony, as Rutherford the Brave

 F#m E D E

Chokes Tela and the Unic Monster, managing to save...

[Same chords for next verses, I dont' have the words right now]

 A C# F#m B E

... I'd like to get his autograph, but he looks too much like Dave

 F E Eb Bb

He looks too much like Dave, he looks too much like Dave,

 Ab Abm Bb  

He looks too much.... He looks too much... He looks to much ...

 Abm A

He looks too much.... He looks too much

Here's the chords for the next part, although Trey will sometimes use different  inversions

 C#m E B

E--------4-------------------------

B--------5--------5----5----4------

G--------6--------4----4----4------ Play 4 times

D--------6--------6----6----4------

A---4----4-------------------------

E----------------------------------

Repeat Intro

The next section moves in 7/8 time. Here are the chords. Trey will play different  inversions as well as the octave

form of these chords. He also plays with the rhythm against the band. (Similar to what  he does in YEM)

C#m7 Amaj7 F#m7 G#m7

E-----4---4-------4---4--------------------2-----4---------

B-----5---5-------5---5---------5---5------2-----4---------

G-----4---4-------4---4---------6---6------2-----4--------- Play 8 times D-----6---6-------6---6---------6---6------2-----4---------

A--4--4---4---4---4---4---------x---x------x-----x---------

E---------------------------5---5---5------2-----4---------

 After the hits on the F#m7 chord and the G#m7 chord, they go into the next section  which is a funky groove

based on E9. This section is also in 7. Listen to a recording for exact timing. The  hits at the end of the riff are tricky

to hear. I just play the E9 shape up an octave.

E--6-7--7---7----7---7---7----6-7----7-------19----19------------------------------- B--6-7--7---7----7---7---7----6-7----7-------19----19------------------------------- G--6-7--7---7----7---7---7----6-7----7-------19----19------------------------------- D--5-6--6---6----6---6---6----5-6----6-------18----18------------------------------- A--6/7--7---7----7---7---7----6/7----7-------19----19------------------------------- E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The riff then modulates up to F#9 (One whole step or two frets up)

Then the big descending riff--

E D E D E D A/C# D/B D A/C# D/B A  E--0---0---0---0---0-------------------|-------------------------------------------- B--0---0---0---0---0-------------------|-------------------------------------------- G-13--13--13--14--13---11----9---7-----|---9---7---6---4----7---6---4---2-----------  This gets played 4 times

D-14--14--14--14--14---11----9---7-----|---9---7---6---4----7---6---4---2----------- A-14--14--14--14--14---12---11---9-----|--11---9---7---5----9---7---5---4----------- E--0---0---0---0---0-------------------|--------------------------------------------

Then the transition into the Keyboard solo---

A/C# D/B A E/G# D/B A E  

E--------------------------0---------------

B--------------------------0---------------

G--6---4---2---1---4---2---1---------------

D--6---4---2---x---4---2---2---------------

A--7---5---4---2---5---4---2---------------

E--------------------------0---------------

Keyboard Solo (E tonality)

E-----------------------

B-----------------------

G----------------------- ETC....

D-----------------------

A-----2-2--------2-2----

E---0--------0-0--------

Page then signals the end of the jam by playing Bb-E eight times

Then the Bb buildup--

 Bb

E----------------------------

B----------------------------

G---7--------7-8-9-10-------- Play 2 times

D-----8----------------------

A-------8--------------------

E----------------------------

 Bb

E----------------------------------------------------------------15-16-17-18-------- B---15-----------15-16-17-18---------15----------15-16-17-18------------------------ G------15-------------------------------15------------------------------------------ D---------15-------------------------------15--------------------------------------- A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It then goes back to the big descending riff which gets played 4 times. (Same as above) Then the transition to the outro-- (Watch the rhythm)

A/C# D/B A E/G# D/B A  

E--------------------------------------------------

B--------------------------------------------------

G--6---4---2---1---4---2---------------------------

D--x---x---x---x---x---x---------------------------

A--7---5---4---2---5---4---------------------------

E--------------------------------------------------

Because of space, I'll just write Mike's bass note above the chords

 E C# A# B E C# A# B B A B A B A D# C#  E-----------------|-------------------|-------------------|------------------------- B-----------------|-------------------|-------------------|------------------------- G--1---6---3---4--|----1---6---3---4--|----8---6---8---6--|---8---6---8---6--------- D--x---x---x---x--|----x---x---x---x--|----9---7---9---7--|---9---7---9---7--------- A--2---7---4---5--|----2---7---4---5--|----9---7---9---7--|---9---7---9---7--------- E-----------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------------

 D E D E D E D E

E---0----0----0----0-------0----0----0----0----------------------------------------- B---0----0----0----0-------0----0----0----0----------------------------------------- G--11---13---11---13------11---13---11---13----------------------------------------- D--12---14---12---14------12---14---12---14----------------------------------------- A--12---14---12---14------12---14---12---14----------------------------------------- E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then we have F#m--G--E/G# which slowly breaks down and slides up which then leads us back  to the intro for the  

ending of the tune.
