Here is tab to the intro and chords to the rest of...

"Baby Lemonade" by Syd Barrett

Intro tab transcribed by Quentin Turchette,
Verse chords transcribed by goldsman@cc.gatech.edu
Modifications to the above, fillers, etc, by me David Fleming
(dave@eng.umd.edu)

NOTES:

terminology: x/y slide from x up to y
hx hammer on to x
px pull off to x

I have not attempted to indicate rhythm or timing in any way.
"|" symbols demarcate sections of music and not measures.

For line 4 and 5, finger like so:

----------- nth fret
| | | | 1 |
-----------
| | | 2 | 3*
-----------
| | | | | | * the third finger only frets when appropriate.

+-----------------------------------------3-----------------------|-----+

Next comes a chord progression which leads into the main part of the song,
which is one bar each of:

A# C# A G D A# D# A

Then the verses...

Verse I

A#
In the sad town

A
Cold iron hands clap

D A
The party of clowns outside

D A
Rain falls in grey far away

A# D# A# G#
Please, please, baby lemonade

Verse II follows the same chord progression as verse I:

In the evening
Sun going down when
The Earth streams in in the morning
Send a cage through the post
Make your name like a ghost
Please, please, baby lemonade

Verse III alters the progression slightly:

A#
I'm screaming

A
I met you this way

D A
You're nice to me like ice

G
In the clock they sent

D
Through a washing machine

A# A
Come around, make it soon, so alone

A# D# A# G#
Please, please, baby lemonade


Then comes a guitar solo, which is played over the same chord
progression that leads into the verses (A# C# A ...).

After this, verses I and II are repeated, and then the
song closes with A# G# played repeatedly (in the fashion of
the end of the verse) with the intro chord progression played over it,
which fades out...

laying back in a chair?

she's so high on the air

G D7 A
she's so high on the air

C A C A
half and half, half and half

all you have to do to call

and then smile and we'll understand

A G D7 A
yes we do - yes, yes we do!

G D7 A
Oh what a girl I've got too!

there will be lots of things that we can do

A G
and all and more will be for you

D7 A
everything I knew I tried with you

F# E
but everything to you was never easy

A
so I went ahead around my world

I saw the things you do arriving by your side

I see you looking too

E
but I know this. I know, I never lied to you

G F
it's been just like you're gone

A G D
for just one day for so long!

F F# G D
It's been so hard to bear when you're not there

E
but though I think of you, the things you do

when I'm with you, to be with you,

to be alone...can only think:

A
"Why I am here? What's meant to be?"

Wolfpack - Syd Barrett
----------------------
Approximately transcribed by Greg O'Beirne (gobeirne@tartarus.uwa.edu.au)


A x 2
D x 6 Howling the pack in formation appear
A x 4 diamonds and clubs, light misted fog of the
B x 3 dead
A x 12 waving us back in formation
the pack in formation
D x 3 bowling they bat as a group and the
A x 4 leader is seen... so
B x 2 early... the
C x 2 pack on their backs, the
A x 12 fighters
through misty the waving... the pack in formation
far reaching waves
on sight, shone right
I lay as if in
C x 4 surround...
A x 20 all enmeshing, hovering...
the milder I gaze
all the animals laying trail
beyond the far winds
mild the reflecting
C x 6 electricity eyes...
tears, the
D x 4 life that was ours grows sharper and stronger
A x 4 away and beyond... short
B x 2 wheeling... fresh
C x 2 spring
A x 11 gripped with blanched bones... moaned
magnesium, proverbs and sods...
D x 7 howling the pack in formation appear
A x 4 diamonds and clubs, light misted fog of the
B x 4 dead
A x 50+ waving us back in formation,
the pack in formation...


Both the lyrics & number of bars of each chord is approximate,
so any comments/corrections/suggestions welcome :)

EFFERVESCING ELEPHANT -- Syd Barrett

G G7
An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk

C C7
once whispered to the tiny ear, the ear of one in fear, you hear

G
that by next June he'd die, Oh yeah!

D
And the tiger would roam, the little one said,

D7
"Oh my goodness -- I must stay at home!

G G7
And every time I hear a growl, I'll know the tiger's on the prowl,

C C7
And I'll be really safe, you know, the elephant, he told me so."

G
Everyone was nervous, Oh yeah!

D D7
And the message was spread to zebra, mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus

G G7
who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food

C
and tended to ignore the word,

C7 G
referring to a survey I heard of stupid water bison

D
Oh yeah! And all the jungle took fright,

D7
and ran around for all the day and the night,

G
But all in vain because, you see, the tiger came and said,

G7 C
"Who me? You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you --

C G
I much prefer something to chew, and you're all too scant."

C D G
Oh yeah! He ate the elephant.
