Terrapin Tab

by Syd Barrett



"Terrapin" by Syd Barrett, for the album "The Madcap Laughs"

	VERSE 1

                      
I really love you, and I mean you
                          
The star above you, crystal blue
                                    
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you

 	TRANSITION:   

	VERSE 2
I wouldn't see you, and I love to
I fly above you, yes I do
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you

 	TRANSITION:     

	BRIDGE (?)

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
                           
The fins a luminous


Fangs all 'round the clown is dark

Below the boulders hiding
                            
All the sunlight's good for us

	VERSE 3
Cause we're the fishes and all we do
The move about is all we do
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you

	SOLO 1 (Played over the verse chords, using the same kinds
                of transitions as shown above to lead in)

	REPEAT BRIDGE

	SOLO 2 (Played over the verse chords, using the same kinds
                of transitions as shown above to lead in)

	REPEAT VERSE 1

	END


Notes: I basically use all E and A shape barre chords for this, which
       makes it an easy and fun song to play.

       The lyrics listed for the bridge were provided by Graham Clarke

       Enjoy,
