Standard (EADGBE)

  is

  , Third Fret, Bar

  style.

Note: This is a very spotty sort of thing. Normally, I wouldn't bother

posting it, but the Robyn Hitchcock directory doesn't seem to be growing

much. I played 'Globe of Frogs' and this is what I got. Complicating

things is the fact that some songs don't have much in the way of guitar,

so sometimes included are a general key or bass.

@SONG: Tropical Flesh Mandala

(It's played a bit too fast for me to be sure, but I know that the song

is in

a key of G and that this riff is close. If you don't trust this version,

send in your own, or just play a G.)

Lying out there on the beach was a pleasant growth

in the reach of me and you in the reach of both

tropical flesh mandala, tropical flesh mandala

 floating in a moist exotic pool

 feeling so good-natured I could drool

So I took a photograph so there'd be no doubt

when I got the pictures back none of them came out

tropical flesh mandala, tropical flesh mandala

underneath your ribcage and your skin

honey there's a new way to get in

it was covered in pink scales lots of tiny feathers

valves that opened up and valves that closed very tight together

tropical flesh mandala, tropical flesh mandala

on the night the creature came ashore

someone told Joanna what they're for

@SONG: Vibrating

Cross-legged on the bed she gazed across the town

her shadow climbed the wall until the sun went down

she bought a china pug it lay there on the bed

and in the paper bag she could just see its head

She was vibrating She was vibrating She was vibrating

and in an adoring pose he shriveled up and died

until his bones were stems upon the grass they dried

and made an alphabet of white upon the green

and it was beautiful and some would say obscene

she was vibrating she was vibrating she was vibrating

and in the demon's hat discolored flowers grew

and they had fleshy stems and fleshy petals too

to slither is divine to multifoliate

she just lost her watch she couldn't concentrate

she was vibrating she was vibrating she was vibrating

she was vibrating she was vibrating she was vibrating

@SONG: Balloon Man

This is on separate file on Nevada. I haven't found anything new about

it,

so I'll let this one alone.

@SONG: Luminous Rose

Intro

(Sorry. That's all I've got of it. The rest seems to be all organ)

Oh the bodies of drowned sailors and dead airmen

flounder upside down beneath the roaring wave

and the fishes eat the flesh from off their fingers

and the sea is so much deeper than the grave

and the pale English stone stands alone over me

oh the bodies rise and fall in slow motion

as the flesh gives way to coral and her charms

if you listen hard you'll hear the sea is breathing

and she's waiting there to hold you in her arms

and the pale English sun shone over me

oh the telegram is lying on the table

you left it there you can't believe its true

God finds you naked and he leaves you dying

what happens in between is up to you

and the luminous rose glows over me over me

@SONG: Sleeping With Your Devil Mask

*(The end of verse bass/guitar riff)

E:-0h5----5p3-------0

or

 I see the birdies in the trees I see the fishes in the seas

and perching on the garden wall I see the man that made it all

I see the sand, I see the stones I see right through into your bones

 your skeleton can dance all night and caper beneath the swaying light

 sleeping with your devil mask is all I want to do

 and when I stop it means I'm through with you

 yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah

so welcome Mr. Dennis Forbes who's brought along his perspect orbs

and they are full of leather peas that rattle like a slow disease

I've got to have a nasty thought because of all the stuff I bought

from sultry Mr. Garrick Hobbs who does a load of useless jobs

and in the chapel after lunch they used to cluster in a bunch

sleeping with your devil mask is all I wanna do

and when I stop it means I'm through with you

yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah

it's all compulsion, there's no choice my mother's second name is Joyce

and once when she was very young she saw a cellist being hung

thirteen men with long black heads all came and stood around her bed

and when the morning light came in she saw their heads had all caved in

their rotting brains fell to the floor and crawled away towards the door

sleeping with your Devil mask is all I wanna do

and when I stop it means I'm through with you

yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah

the organism rapes itself as it gives birth upon the shelf

and over where the magpie struts a flower billows from my guts

some things go in some things go out and next time back I'll come back a

trout

@SONG: Unsettled

What can I say to you?

Batter engines pack a swallow piston in you shatter inches bell

bloody glass eruption it embarrassed of the seven druids

muscle-bound instructions over patient forest fire

in the month the dogs expire

helicopter pepper cord I'm ram impatient swallow on patrol

gotta leave her heart plug in her dinner service multiply my

cat a role is friendship easy fear and pattern lease

suddenly the feeling of you leaves

everybody fourteen-points in session buy a rusty pair of clint

should in fact potatoes straddles rockery of hairy mythic

mental dung-heap flurry over shot lasagna breeds

in a hollow shoe the mincemeat seeds for you

everything breathes for you

get a heart exact tomato flourish on a spike of greedy prawns

if a base were dug moussaka Al unwraps the biscuit in you

drummer moral bombs excepted every turning bends away

running off a cross the troubled hey do you what can I say to you

what can I say to you what can I say to you

@SONG: Chinese Bones

Riff

Watching Romeo dissolve I was tempted to join him

by the mirror of the lake where the statues unfurled

I had never seen a man so abuse his reflection

as the light shines through your Chinese bones

watching Juliet unrobe I would hasten toward her

but around her feet I sat that her serpent was curled

and her eyeballs had rolled up so her pupils had vanished

and the light shines through your Chinese bones

as the light shines through your Chinese bones

I met an interesting dwarf and I told him a story

as he walked towards the East then the shadow was right

something Shakespeare never said was 'you've got to be kidding'

as the light shines through your Chinese bones

as the light shines through your Chinese bones

the line between us is so thin I might as well be you

and everywhere I've ever been I know you're going to

Chinese bones Chinese Bones

@SONG: Globe of Frogs

I'm sorry...I've got no ideas on this one.

@SONG: The Shapes Between Us Turn to Animals

Desires muck and algae were the shadows on the wall

glasses shatter ornaments on to the ground they fall

our hair like anemone's that wave beneath the seas

our fingers are like the fingers of baboons up in the trees

 and the shapes between us turn into animals

 the shapes between us

The lion is your anger as it smashes up the chair

the zebra is my answers as your pounding up the stairs

that's black and white and yes and no and can't make up it's mind

when you gonna see that love is dumb as well as blind

oh the shapes between us turn into animals

the shapes between us

when the night is over and the dawn comes shining through

everything is smashed to bits including me and you

the animals are snoring open-mouthed inside the cage

waiting for the wine to turn and ache into a rage

'cause the shapes between us turn into animals

the shapes between us

@SONG: Flesh Number One (Beatle Dennis)

(I think that the chords are mainly A and D, but I'm not sure enough to post)

There's a house burning down on the radio, but

we're in love we don't mind we're as far as I can tell

everyone worries so much about themselves

there's nothing happening to you that means anything at all

there's a plane crashing down on the studio, but

we're in luck we're not there so we're somewhere else instead

everyone wishes so much upon themselves

there's not a thing that you can do that'll make me come again

there's a house burning down on the radio, but

we're in love we don't mind we're as far as I can tell

everyone worries so much about themselves

there's nothing happening to you that means anything at all

Thank You for your time. Sorry if this has disappointed. If someone would

be kind enough to figure out the rest of it and post, I would be much

obliged.
