Wife Soup Umphrey's McGee Tab by Eric Sievers (eric_j_sievers@yahoo.com) Uploaded by: James Wingo I didn't do the intro dissonant part, this little riff starts the meat of the song... G F# E------------------| B------------------| G------------------| D------------------| A-----5-----4-4540-| E-3-------2--------| For this verse part, they play (for the most part) on separate beats, bass on the 1, guitar on 2 and 3, piano on 4. The 2 and 4th lines end with something similar to the starting riff above, the guitars arpeggiate the chords sometimes. Bm A G F# Well maybe it could wait another day Bm A G F# But as it were I'm better off alone without my feet Bm A G F# If laziness could be a middle name Bm A G F# Initial me so I can wander off and fall asleep Dm C E---------13-15-17---15-13-------|---------------12-13-15---13-12-| B-6-------15-17-18---17-15-------|-----8---------13-15-17---15-13-| G-7------------------------------|----5-5-------------------------| D-7------------------------------|---5---5------------------------| A-5------------------------------|--7-----7-----------------------| E--------------------------------|-8-------8----------------------| sweep---> G F Dm C E---------13-15-17---15-13-------|---------------12-13-15---13-12-| B-6-------15-17-18---17-15-------|-----8---------13-15-17---15-13-| G-7------------------------------|----5-5-------------------------| D-7------------------------------|---5---5------------------------| A-5------------------------------|--7-----7-----------------------| E--------------------------------|-8-------8----------------------| sweep---> G F G F E6 E---------4---------------4------| B-----2------2--------2------2---| G---4---4-------4---4---4-------4| D--------------------------------| A--------------------------------| E-0---------------0--------------| Dm C E---------13-15-17---15-13-------|---------------12-13-15---13-12-| B-6-------15-17-18---17-15-------|-----8---------13-15-17---15-13-| G-7------------------------------|----5-5-------------------------| D-7------------------------------|---5---5------------------------| A-5------------------------------|--7-----7-----------------------| E--------------------------------|-8-------8----------------------| sweep---> G F E6 E-4- -0- B-2- -2- G-4- or -1- D-x- -2- A-x- -2- E-0- -0- G F We've all recovered though still they stand G F With no excuses for us to tell G F E6 So please allow some time to pass G F We've peeled our spirits into a hole G F With no provisions left to share G F E6 Yet still our sleeves are weighted down This fades off into the next section. Here's two ways to play the following chord progression, it starts out very softly and builds...

G F# E------------------| B------------------| G------------------| D------------------| A-----5-----4-4540-| E-3-------2--------| Here's both guitar parts for the bridge... BB plays the lower melody, and Jake the higher one.

So there's never reason for your doubt The same is true in hell for all I'd hope at least for me Suddenly they found another aisle It's up to someone else to drag my ass along the street After repeating the rest of the parts, end like this...
