Wolfman's Brother by Phish
Trascribed by Boaz Laor

 Tuning-My tab maybe a 1/2 step up or down by accident. I just tuned to
the cd so  i couldn't tell if maybe i was a 1/2 step or down.

This is sorta like the the new album's version.

Intro.(first 2 chords)

Bar Chords-Gm G#m

The Groove- Get the Wah Wah Ready.

A#(do some wah wah muffles, and hit lower notes of the chord)->Gm->G#m


The verses are underlined by this groove.


A#                         Gm G#m
It was many years ago now
A#                         Gm G#m
I really can't be sure
A#                         Gm G#m
cause when it all began then
A#                               Gm G#m
I heard that knock upon my door.


Chorus:
                  F                      D#
Its the Wolfman's Brother, the Wolfman's Brother
               A#->Gm->G#m(the original groove of the verse)
comin' down on me.


Bridge:

Gm                           G#m
So in meaningless excitement.
Gm                      G#m
through the total sound.
Gm                                   G#m
its like a cross between a hurricane.
Gm                                   G#m
Its like a ship that's running g..


The Ending.THe ho ho ho ho part if you know what i mean.

This riff is underlined by the main grove A#->Gm->G#m

a simple run down the pentatonic scale,B means Bend
                  B            B
---6---3-----------------------------------------------------|
---------6---3-----------------------------------------------|
------------------5--3-----3---5-----------------------------|
------------------------5------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------|

The rest of the Jam is of course on the same A# pentatonic scale.

	it is a song about being overshadowed . for exaple if you go into school and an older simbling already has formed a reputation, your expected to live up to that. whatever phish rules

	I heard that the Wolfman's brother was Fishman because fish had a bro that was hairy or maybe it was fish that is the hairy one; not sure

	The wolfman's brother is Fishman. Fishman's brother is the wolfman.

	I hate to be the guy, but I thought this could be about smaking? I htought perhaps in an odd, and common Phish theme, they incorporated a past occurance or individual in a song in a crypitic manner. In this case, Wolfman could be hairy buds, and his brohter could be a different kind of weed. Or the Wolfman's brother could be a bong. Many people name their bongs. The lines that get me to this poinnt are the references to "cavitations" and "cross between a hurricane and a ship that's run aground" All of those noises could be references to the bong noise? Vary consistent I think. The song kinda makes more sense as one of Phish's groupings of "nonsense songs" as I call them. (in a resepctufl use of nonsense) Again, sorry be being the guy talking about buds.
