Phish - Run Like An Antelope Chords & Tabs

Run Like an Antelope
Tabbed by: Jon Martin


Introduction:

These are the chord shapes -- listen to a recording for
timing and strumming information.

                        D     D    A    D
       H-O   H-O
E------------------------------------|
B-------------------10---7---5-------|
G---------------7---7----7---6---7---|
D----------7-9------7----7---7---7---|
A-----7-9------------------------9---|
E--10--------------------------------|

Repeat as necessary for intro.

Then

A  D  (x4)     Then repeat Introductory sequence...

Back to A  D, until this part (again, listen to a recording
for timing information and when it comes:

E-----------------------|
B--10--9--10--9--10--9--|
G---7--7---7--7---7--7--|
D---7--7---7--7---7--7--|
A-----------------------|
E-----------------------| then noodle on D...

E------------------------|
B--10--9--10--11--10--9--|
G---7--7---7--12---7--7--|
D---7--7---7--13---7--7--|
A------------------------|
E------------------------|


Repeat twice...

Then back to the main lick, then A > D, the last time ending with
a D chord on the second fret (basic D chord).

Then comes the distortion, and the progression changes to a
D C D C G > F one (See below)... listen to the recording for timing.
This is the solo Trey does on Lawn Boy.. every time I think he
noodles around with it a little.

    ~~~~~  ~~~~~   ~~
E---------------------------5-4-3-----------------------|
B------------------------(3)------3---3-5-3-5^(7)-------|
G----------------------(2)----------4-------------------|

              Palm muting...

..Into the JAM!!

Em > D

Here's a little lick that Trey did at Shoreline in 1995 at the start:
(Thanks to Mike Flouton)
E--------------------------------------------------------|
B-12h13-11h12------10------------------------------------|
G-------------9h11----12-11-10-9-8-7-----7-9-------------|
D------------------------------------8h9-----9p8p7-------|
A--------------------------------------------------9p8p7-|
E--------------------------------------------------------|

After the Climax of the jam, it cools down but maintains the same
Em > D progression.  Trey might noodle over it a little, then goes
into the words :

  Rai rai Rocko (?)

  Marco Esquandolas (?)

  Been you to have any spice/spike mon?  (?)

A heavy C chord makes for the transition to the next part:

D  C   D   C       G > F (loud!)

I like to play the G > F chords as such:

      G     F
E--------------|
B-----8-----6--|
G-----7-----5--|
D-----9-----7--|
A----10-----8--|
E--------------|

Though I'm sure most people will stick with the barre chord shapes.

For this part, I can't decide which one sounds better / works better - the
C chord or the Am or the Am7 chord.  They're all very closely related, Am
being the sixth of C.  Play it however you like, I suppose

           D                    /           Am7
 Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run/Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run

           D                    /           Am7
 Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run/Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run

(with "Run run run" chant over)

 "Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul . . .
  you've got to run like an antelope . . . out of control..."

Eventually they slow this chord progression down, ending on the D chord.

Trey will sometimes bend the fifth fret on the B string up a whole step
and hold it while the band does their grand finale, and he sometimes does his
"Thanks a lot, we'll be back in fifteen minutes" routine (yeah, right).
