Title:  Cities
Artist: Phish
originally written by the Talking Heads

Here is how Phish plays Cities on their new CD, Slip Stitch and Pass,
and in in concert.  This is the guitar  part only.  The pianist plays chords.

intro-hit the D chord, with wah (used in the whole song)
after you hit the D mute the strings and keep the beat. This goes throughout
the whole verse.
Verse:

        E                                       B

        Find yourself a ....
        E                                       B
Verse:

Alot of bridges .....

I'm checkin' em .....

and then the Chorus again, followed by an instrumental break.
This is a great time for some doodling on the B major scale.
After this another verse:

Did I forget to ....

I'm checkin em ....

The song ends with the chorus, which goes around FOUR times instead of 2.
After that a short jam is carried out and finishes the song.
