Silent in the morning

Phish – 7/16/13 Alpharetta, GA

 

G

My glance is always darting, when I stroll the avenue

Avoiding all the obstacles that terrorize my view

C                                                G

If you are here with me, I trust you to lead the way

D                            C                 G

When you're not I follow you, and always go astray

 

G

Silent in the morning, suspended in the trees

Lunch time comes you've found your voice, it brings me to my knees

C                                           G

Volume just increases the resounding echoes grow

     D                            C                 G

Till once again I bask in morning stillness, I love so

 

G

A target that I shoot for seems to move with every breath

I tighten all my arteries and make one last request

C                                                 G

Divine creation hears me, and he squashes me with fear

D                                      A               C      D

I think that this exact thing happened to me just last year

 

CHORUS:

G             A7           C                    D (add G)

Silent in the morning, you found your voice, it brings me to

G             A7           C                    D (add G)

Silent in the morning, you found your voice, it brings me to

G             A7           C                    D (add G)

Silent in the morning, you found your voice, it brings me to

G             A7           C                    D (add G)       C     C C C

Silent in the morning, you found your voice, it brings me to my knees

 

Trey:

I would not dismiss you, shelter you, speak to you,

Smile at you, trust in me, laugh and brush you off and I'd agree.

These may not be exact, but they are close. It is important to keep in mind

that Trey doesn't play it exactly the same way every time anyway. The most important thing is to keep loyal to the key of each of the chords. If you do that, then you can come up with plenty of your own variations. It is very important to keep in rhythm with the song. That’s something i can't really tab out, but its KEY in making this sound good. Hope this helps.
