SILENCE - BY THE TEA PARTYFrom the album The Edges of Twilight on EMI recordsTranscribed by Mark WiebeTuned from low to high D G D G B DThis song has some other weird instruments in it butthis is how I play the guitar part (he probably usesa twelve string on the album.) This transcription isprobably not to accurate and you'll have to listen tothe song for the timing but I think it should give youthe basic idea.Fig.1|-----------------| |-8-6--8-6--8-6-8-| |-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-| |-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-| |-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-| |-----------------|Fig.2|-----------------------------------------------| |-0-1/4--3-3-3-3-3-3-3---3/6-4-3--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-| |-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0---0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0---0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0---0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-----------------------------------------------|Fig.3|-----------------------------------------------| |-0-1/4--3-3-3-3-3-3-3---0-1-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0-1--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-| |-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-----------------------------------------------|Fig.4|-3/5-3--3-3-3-3-3--------| |-0---0--0-0-0-0-0--------| |-0---0--0-0-0-0-0--------| |-3/5-3--3-3-3-3-3--3-3/5-| |-0---0--0-0-0-0-0--------| |-------------------3-3/5-|Fig.5|-3/5-2--2-2-2-2-2--------| |-0---0--0-0-0-0-0--------| |-0---0--0-0-0-0-0--------| |-3/5-2--2-2-2-2-2--3-3/6-| |-0---0--0-0-0-0-0--------| |-------------------3-3/6-|Fig.6|---------------------| |-5h6-6-6--3-3-3-3--0-| |-0---0-0--0-0-0-0--0-| |-0---0-0--0-0-0-0--0-| |-------------------0-| |---------------------|Fig.7|-9-9-9-9-10-9-7-5-3-7-9--9-9-9-9-9-9-| |-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-9-9-9-9-10-9-7-5-3-7-9--9-9-9-9-9-9-| |-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-------------------------------------|Fig.8|-9-9-9-9-10-9-7-5-3-7-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-| |-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-9-9-9-9-10-9-7-5-3-7-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-| |-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-------------------------------------|Fig.9|-0--0-0-0-0--2--2-2-2-2--3--3-3-| |-0--0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0--0--0-0-| |-0--0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0--0--0-0-| |-0--0-0-0-0--2--2-2-2-2--3--3-3-| |-0--0-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0--0--0-0-| |--------------------------------|========================================================================How it goes together------------------------------------------------------------------------Fig.1 x 4Fig.2 Silent spirit walks before meFig.3 With her beauty and with her eyesFig.2 Heaven help me I feel I'm fadingFig.3 I should be rest here for a whileFig.1 x 4Fig.2 In the dream time I'm awakenedFig.3 As my senses seize the nightFig.2 Heaven help me I'm forsakenFig.3 I should rest here for a whileFig.4 Fig.5 Fig.4 Fig.6Fig.7 And lie in the bed you've made opheliaFig.8 Dry are the lips that lost their taste of loveFig.7 Drown in the waters that would give you lifeFig.8 Cry as this lamentation thrusts its knifeFig.9 x 8 In silence... silence... silenceFig.1 x 4===============================================================Send comments, criticism torwiebe@mindlink.bc.caFrom: lmsmith@calvin.stemnet.nf.ca (Larry M.

Thisis just MY interpretation. The timing is probably wrong (I'm not that good).It's just four dashes (-) for every quarter note. This is just a guess, butI think it's in 4/4 timing (please correct me).INTRO:(4 times)Bb G Bb G F Gd|-------------------| A|-------------------| G|o-3-0-0-3-0-0---0-o| D|o-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-o| A|--3-0-0-3-0-0-5-0--| E|--------------3----|VERSE:(G)(Strum these)d|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------| A|---2---3---6---5--|--8---6---5---3--|--2---3---6---5--|--2---3---0-------| G|o--0---0---0---0--|--0---0---0---0--|--0---0---0---0--|--0---0---0------o| D|o--0---0---0---0--|--0---0---0---0--|--0---0---0---0--|--0---0---0------o| A|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------| E|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|Si-lent spirit watch me for me with her beauty and with her eyesHeaven help me I feel I'm fading I should rest here for a while(INTRO riff again)VERSE riff overIn the springtime I'm awakened as my spirits sieze the nightHeaven help me I'm foresaken I should rest here for a whileBRIDGE:(For the beginning, just improvise by playing assorted notes on the B (A)string and the two lower ones open (like the verse), but remember to keepthem in scale-just fool around with it).(4 times)(G)d|---9---9---9---9-10--|-9----------------------| A|--10--10--10--10-10--|10-12-10--8---12---10---| G|o--0---0---0---0--0--|-0--0--0--0----0----0--o| A|o-(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)(0)-|(0)(0)(0)(0)--(0)--(0)-o| D|---------------------|------------------------| E|---------------------|------------------------|(I don't know the lyrics.
