Blaze On (Phish)
Written by Trey Anastasio/Tom Marshall
Ok so this is my first tab ever after years of taking tabs. Thought I would give back a little.
I pulled this from when Trey spoke/played at the New Yorker Festival in Oct 2015. Sounds like he
is in a different key than some of the other live versions Phish had played during the summer. I think I
got it pretty close. Enjoy!
Verse 1
C
Climb that hill,Stay on your feet
G C
Scramble for your footing when it gets to steep
C
You're on the highway now, With higher hopes
G C
While all around are rolling eggs with living yokes
F C
You never get too sad, you never get too blue
G C
It must be all the chemtrails raining down on you
F C
The justice of the peace, can't help you anymore
G C
and they just took the covers off the justice of war
Chorus
C
you got your nice shades on
C
and the worst days are gone
G
so now the band plays on
C
you've got one life, blaze on (twice)
short solo
F, C, G, C
Verse 2
C
the storm is passing through, lay down your sticks and stones
G C
the struggles over now, we're all just flesh and bones
C
we were wrong before, it was wrong to trust
G C
the shadows cast, we're only light and dust
F C
and then one day you'll find, to your intense delight
G C
that 3 wrong turns, can really make a right
F C
so why not be like me, be proud of all your crimes
G C
cause when i screw up once, i do it 2 more times
Chorus
C
you got your nice shades on
C
and the worst days are gone
G
so now the band plays on
C
you've got one life, blaze on (twice)
Verse 3
F C
and we'll be dancing in the fields, running through the moor
G C
trippin on the barbwire, buried near the shore
F C
blazing like a comet, thats brighter than a full moon
G
so you better get ready, cause a change is coming soon
F C
i met a liar, called the messiah
G C
i got the frying pan, i wanted fire
F C
i saw a red dress, i met a daughter
G
i got the quicksand, i prayed for water
Chorus
C
you got your nice shades on
C
and the worst days are gone
G
so now the band plays on
C
you've got one life, blaze on (twice)
Bb->C
