Guelah Papyrus
Bm7 A A E E (3x) E9 held out F#7#9
[VERSE]
Bm7 A A E E
Aboard a craft bereft of oar
D
I rowed upstream to find Lenore
Bm7 A A E E
Abducted by a bandit or
Bm7 A A E E
A king from some forgotten war
Bm7 A A E E
And mindful of his larval craze
D
The rhinotropic micro-gaze
Bm7 A A E E
Ignored it and to my amazement
Bm7 F#7#9
Rode to Paris in twelve days
[CHORUS]
Bm7 A A E E
This is the work of the guelah papyrus
Bm7 A A E E
Stranded for a moment on the ocean of Osyrus
Bm7 A A E E
Absorbing all she can for every member of her clan
E9 F#7#9
Expanding exponentially like some recursive virus
Bm7 A A E E x4
[VERSE]
She take me on, I never fail
To ride on the redundant rail
'Cause when I know she's switched a track
There's always one to take me back
And through the bedroom door intrude
A fretful frown and spoil the mood
'Cause though I never really stand that tall
She tilt my frame, she watch me fall
[CHORUS]
[INTERLUDE]
[VERSE]
{*no chord*}
So maybe I could be a fly
D
And feed arachnid as I die
And view the ritual from within
The silken tunnel that they spin
And through the bedroom door intrude
A fretful frown and spoil the mood
'Cause though I never really stand that tall
She tilt my frame, she watch me fall
[INTERLUDE]

This final section gets really weird and a number of effects (whammy up one octave for certain) are used.
