Guelah Papyrus
Bm7 A A E E (3x) E9 held out F#7#9
the verses:
Bm7 A A E E (4x)
Bm7 A A E E D Bm7
Bm7 A A E E 2x
Bm7 A A E E D Bm7
Bm7 A A E E D F#7#9
the chorus:
Bm7 A A E E
Bm7 A A E E
Bm7 A A E E
E9 held, staccato F# 7#9 (I think it's different rt. before asse festival)
The chords should be played like this:
Bm7 A E E9 F#7#9
E--7----x---x---7---------|
B--7----10--9---7----10---|
G--7----9---9---7----9----|
D--7----7---9---6----8----|
A--x------------7----9----|
E--7----------------------|
The F#7#9 chord, for those who might not know... would be played at the
ninth fret... fifth thru second strings... spells out the notes F# A# E A
(for those who know "Purple Haze," it's the main chord up 2 frets)...
anyway... those F#7#9 stabs add alot to the song, especially with page's
sweet sounding hammond...

Bm7 A E
Aboard a craft bereft of oar
D
I rowed upstream to find Lenore
Bm7 A
Abducted by a bandit or
E Bm7
A king from some forgotten war
Bm7 A E
And mindful of his larval craze
D
The rhinotropic micro-gaze
Bm7 A
Ignored it and to my amazement
E Bm7 F#7#9
Rode to Paris in twelve days
CHOURUS:
Bm7 A E
This is the work of the guelah papyrus
Bm7 A E
Stranded for a moment on the ocean of Osyrus
Bm7 A E
Absorbing all she can for every member of her clan
E9 F#7#9
Expanding exponentially like some recursive viruS
She take me on, I never fail
To ride on the redundant rail
'Cause when I know she's switched a track
There's always one to take me back
And through the bedroom door intrude
A fretful frown and spoil the mood
'Cause though I never really stand that tall
She tilt my frame, she watch me fall
CHOURUS AGAIN THEN INTO THE BREAK.
[GUELAH (THE FLY)]
So maybe I could be a fly
And feed arachnid as I die
And view the ritual from within
The silken tunnel that they spin
And through the bedroom door intrude
A fretful frown and spoil the mood
'Cause though I never really stand that tall
She tilt my frame, she watch me fall
