Also Sprach Zarathustra "2001"

Note: I would just like to clear up some confusion  

in the discusion part of this song. The organ actually  

sounds better if you do something like this:

Bb A G E G: Bb A G F G  

and as far as the chords in the organ,  

just let the guitar to the main part with the organ playing  

what I have writen above. And end  

on the chord specified by this tab.

I was looking at the tab for Also Sprach Zarathustra "2001". I

just wanted to point out that the funky version that phish plays is really from Eumir Deodato and is recorded on the Sony label. If you want to hear that version, check out the great movie "Being There" with Peter

Sellers. It's a clean, studio version with a very 70's feel to it.  

Jam starts in Cmin7

Bass/Organ line:

G------------------------------------------

D----8-7--------------8-7------------------

A--------10--7--10--------10--8--10--6>7---

E--8----------------8----------------------

Alt Piano Bass Line

C Bb A G E G, C Bb A G F G F G F E

Trey does his little noodling over it:

E--8---8---

B-11--11---

G--8---8---

D-10---8---

A-----10---

E------8---

Then this riff builds up the jam (have whoever's not playing lead hit the chords/ notes listed above the tab)
