"Shadowplay" by Fish from the album Internal Exile, live version appears on
For Whom the Bells Toll.

I know that this is not 100% correct, but I it should be a good kick in the
right direction. Listening to the recording should be able to help you better
put it together, as all I really did we just put what chords/notes come in
where.  If ya want a really nice looking one, send me lots of money :)
Enjoy!!!

(Keyboard Intro)
(Guitar comes in - these are the chords - the recording will help. :)
I am not entirely sure about these, as there is a lot going on.

Bb   F   Bb    C    G


Intro ends on a...
G

(First verse has no instruments, just Fish.)

Chorus (just alternates between these two chords.):
A   E

(Main riff played during the rest of the verses and the chords that follow the riff each time.).
e-|-------------------------------10-10\-|------------------------------------|
B-|-------------------------------10-10\-|------------------------------------|
G-|--------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
D-|--------------------------------------|--------------------------0--2--0---|
A-|-----------------3--1--0--1-----------|-----------------3--1--0------------|
E-|--3--5--3--5--3--------------3--------|--3--5--3--5--3-------------------3-|

Bb   F   Bb   F   G

Chorus just switches between:
A   E

Insert Verse stuff here:

Chorus just switched between: (Yes, the key changes.)
Bb  F

The break in the song where Fish just talks...  Starts on a:
G

G  Ab  G  (a bit before the vocals start loud again)

Chorus just switches between:  Repeats until almost the end.
Bb  F

At the end it stays on a Bb, and every so often slides from a Db down to
a Bb.

NOTE:  It sounds like there is a lot more going on.  That's because there
is, but most of it is on the keyboards.  The live version is good to
listen to, because the distinction is a lot clearer.
