[Mike's Song, I am Hydrogen, Weekapaug Groove]
By PHISH
Here's my complete version of all three songs, usually played
together at concerts in the order I will transcribe them. Thanks a
lot to kcjonz@wam.umd.edu for two of the three songs.. I uploaded the
chords to I Am Hydrogen, and saw the other two up there, and figured
I'd make it into one file entry. I play them together, because they
go together. Here they are:

[Trey] Me no are no nice guy [Mike] I-i-i...
[Paige]Me no are no nice guy
[same chords as earlier]
...walk through the hallways inside my mind
I chase the backbeat from behind
Big dude in the doorway was blockin' my way
He reached to grab me and this is what he said:
Me no are no nice guys (x3)
Then go stacatto between these two chord formations :
E|-------|
B|---9-7-|
G|---9-7-|
D|---9-7-|
A|-------|
E|-------|
Then back to the "me no are no nice guys" riff, then back to the
stacatto chords, then switch over to :
F#m7 --> B back and forth for a LONG time
D E F#m7 a couple of times, back to F#m7 --> B then
D E F#m7 twice, then the 12-tone chromatic walkdown from F#-& to
|F#m7 A E F :| repeaded 8 times, stopping on the E and letting it
ring on the last time.
===================
I am Hydrogen |
===================
Background alternating between E and A chords.
After a few bars of alternating between the chords F
and B ...
A E
E------9---------9-7--------7-----------------------
B---------------------10--9----10--9-7--------------
G---9--------9----------------------------9---------
D---------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------
A E
E------9---------9-7------------------
B---------------------10--9-----------
G------------9----------------9-------

The above repeats a couple of times before going onto
this:
A E
E----(7)-9-----7--9-12-----9-12-14----12-14-13------
B---------------------------------------------------
G---9-----------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------

E--14-16-17----16-17-19-17-16-12--------------------
B---------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------
Then back to the first part a couple more times
After that, it goes something like this :
E----(7)--9----7--9-7--------9---------9-12-11-12---
B---------------------10--9---------9---------------
G--9------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------
E-14-12-11--9-12-11--9------------------------------
B----------------------12---------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------
Then comes a bunch of ascending scales alternating
between Paige and Trey, but I couldn't get those down.
After that, hit an E chord and let it ring into Weekapaug...
