Phish – Steam (Guitar)

Gm                      Cm Gm
 One, two, three, four

Gm
There is a tower

Gm
Like a solitary flower

Gm
Standing in the snow

Gm
And the wolves all wait below

           Cm
And you're walking on the ledge

Cm
Throwing bread crusts off the edge

       Gm
As you sing in a voice so clear

Gm
And my name I think I hear

F
Concealed within the theme

        C             Gm
Then it disappears as steam

Gm
And I'm standing far below

Gm
Watching wolves you seem to know

Gm
As your voice still carries on

Gm
In your never-ending song

       Cm
And my blood begins to boil

Cm
Bones melt into oil

Gm
Hissing liquid in the snow

Gm
As my body melts below

       F
Then a ripple sends a beam

   C                       Gm
Of sunlight dancing in the steam

Gm
My now unfettered soul

Gm
Has direction I control

Gm
To your tower I draw near

Gm
But do I see a trace of fear?

    Cm
The approaching sound of hooves

Cm
Now scatters all the wolves

    Gm
You briefly watch the horseman ride

    F
The rider's weapons gleam

        Cm               Gm
And the horse's nostrils steam

Gm
There's no time to reflect

Gm
Who is this man? I must protect you

Gm
In the rider's hands I see

Gm
He holds your prison's only key

   Cm
He glances up and glares

Cm
Then he starts to climb the stairs

      Gm
I can tell you're terrified

Gm
So I quickly go inside

       F
Then I hear a fateful scream

        Cm                 Eb
As your soul joins mine as steam

Gm
We escaped the dreadful night

Gm
And as lovers soared in flight

Gm
Blissful weeks turned into seasons

Gm
Then one day without a reason

   Cm
Or goodbye, you flew below

Cm
Back to the animals you know

    Gm
Now you forever sing your song

Gm
With the wolves where you belong

F
Alone I often dream

  Cm                           Gm    Cm
I hear you singing through the steam
