Yes - Starship Trooper (Howe, Squire, Anderson) The Yes Album (1973) crd @elguardaparque R N T I N [Intro] [Verse 1] Sister bluebird flying high above Shine your wings forward to the sun Hide the myst'ries of life on your way Though you've seen them, please don't say a word What you don't know, I have never heard Starship trooper, go sailing on by Catch my soul, catch the very light Hide the moment from my eager eye Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul What you can't see, can't be very whole [Chorus] Speak to me of summer Long winters longer than time can remember The setting up of other roads To travel on in old accustomed ways I still remember the talks by the water The proud sons and daughter That knew the knowledge of the land Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways [Verse 2] Mother life, hold firmly on to me Catch my knowledge higher than the day Lose as much as only you can show Though you've seen me, please don't say a word What I don't know, I have never shared [Inter] Loneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away forever All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the facts there shown before you Take what I say in a different way and it's easy to say that this is all confusion As I see a new day in me, I can also show it you and you may follow [Chorus] Speak to me of summer Long winters longer than time can remember The setting up of other roads To travel on in old accustomed ways I still remember the talks by the water The proud sons and daughter That knew the knowledge of the land Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways [Fading] [Solo] (roughly transcribed for 1 guitar): e|---------10------------| B|-10b(12)----(12)r10-8h10-8h10p8s6s8s4--4-6-4-6h8-5------------| G|------------7b(9)r7--5----| |------------7--| |------------| |------------| ------------6h8p6------| ------------4p3/8---------8----| -7p5----7p5----5-p2--2h5p2p0--------0-2-0-3p2-3------------| -----7------7------------0------------| ------------| ------------| -8s10-8-10s12-10-12s15---12h15p12----12-----------| ------------15----15-13-15--| ------------| ------------| ------------| ------------| ---------10------------11s13------13-13h15-12h15p15--| -10b(12)----(12)r10-8-10-11p10-11---------16------------| ------------| ------------| ------------| ------------| ----------15------------| -15b(17)-----(17)r15p12------------| ------------14-12----12-14-12--| ------------| ------------| ------------| ------------8-----| ------------4h5---4h5-8h10---10--| -2b(3)-0-[etc...]------5------------| ------------| ------------| ------------| -17b(19)---17b(19)r17--15-13-15h18p15p13-15---13-11h13--| ------------| ------------| ------------| ------------| ------------| -10h11p10s8-10---8-6h8p6---6----6------6---| ------------8---8------8------| ------------| ------------| ------------| ------------| -17b(19)----17b(19)--15h18p15----15-----------15-x---15------15-------| ------------18----18b(20)------15--18b(20)-18b(20)--| ------------x------------| ------------| ------------| ------------| -15------------12----10--8--8--8----| -16b(18)-[5-times]--x------------8--8--8----| ------------x--11h12----10-----9--9--9----| ------------x--12-------12-----10-10-10---| ------------x------------| ------------| -----------x-----15-----15-----15---------15--| ----------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------| --------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------| -12h15p12-11p10p8-10p8--10----8--6--8--8------------| ------------8--10b(11)-8--------| ------------9--7--| ------------| ------------| ------------| ------------15------------| ------------6p4b-----------| ------------16p15p14p13s12------------| -------0------------5--------5h7--5---| ------------5h6------------| -5b(7)---(7)r5--3-5-6------------| ------------| ------------| -2b(3)--0------------7b(9)--r7------------3-----3-----| ----------5p3p0--3-p2------------5--------3h4h5------------| ------------3------------5--7----------6-----6--| ------------| ------------| ------------| -3---1---3--1h3p1p0------------| ------------5--[fade-out.....]------| ------------| ------------|
