Chords for PHISH - "Heavy Things" @ Big Cypress NYE 1999 (ABC TV)

We're going to go now to the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation in Florida.
There was the biggest traffic jam that we know of in the country
was caused on what's sometimes called Alligator Alley,
which is South Florida's east to west highway.
And it was jammed today with fans of the fish
going to the Big Seminole Indian Reservation to hear a fish concert.
_ If you don't know fish, think Grateful Dead,
at least in terms of their dedicated followers and 75,000 people.
It must have been the earliest sold-out concert of anywhere
on this Millennium [F#] Eve [A] celebration.
And they sang for us out on that reservation
and as well for their devotedly fervent fans.

[C] _ _ _ She was falling down on me, heavy [G] things I could not see. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ When I finally came around, saw this small rickety [C] down.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ Then [F] I tried, you stood [G] beside.
_ _ _ I moved to where they'd hoped I'd be. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ Vanessa calls me [C] on the phone, _ _ _ [F] reminding me I'm not alone.
_ _ _ [F] A fuzzing quake can [C] cavitate, I try to speak and turn [G] to stone.

She reaches through [C] my vest, _ _ [F] _
through the thing that [C] she does best. _ _ _
[F] She pokes and tears [C] my ventricles, steals my one remaining [G] breath.
She _ was falling down on me, heavy things I could not see. _ _ _

[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ Stumbling as I fall [C] from grace, _ _ [F] she needs my vision to replace.
_ _ _ [F] Her early sight throughout [C] the night, leaving two holes in [G] my face.
_ _ [F] _
Mary was a friend [C] I'd say, _ _ [F] _
until one [C] summer day. _ _ _
[F] She borrowed everything [C] I owned, and then simply ran [G] away.

Poor guys from the University [F#] _ of Vermont.
17 years ago they like to say they were playing in a Vermont bar to one person.
Here they are now with the kind of devoted [D] fans _ everywhere [D#] in the [D#] country
that have in their equivalents probably only those who were so devoted to the Grateful Dead.
We'll be back in just a moment.
