[last_snowstorm]

so i finally bought those now play it videos (except for cattleya) and that was a lot of fun playing through those things especially slumberdoll. since slumberdoll kind of blends right into e&e i made an attempt to figure out how to play that .. here's the tab:

The first time you play 'A' it is the end of the previous tune Slumberdoll, then
backing vocals come in and you play 'A' 2 times, then 'B' 2 times, end with 'D'.
There's some guitar noodling after the final A major chord (part 'D') leading into
the tune Wish Stars that I didn't work out. Also there is another guitar
playing higher harmonics/notes but what is transcribed is the main guitar line.

Edmond & Edward lyrics:

Where does wanderlust end?
In delight
when whoever loves
opens the light

Where does wanderlust end? in delight
(Sleep of my slumbering doll)
When whoever loves opens the light
(This enough to die)

Where does wanderlust end? In delight
(In the bed of my slumbering doll)
When whoever loves open the light
(Kiss her blood goodbye)

Vermillion and verdant with glee

i got the lyrics from some lyrics site and adjusted them slightly .. i still have no idea what that last line is, it's probably got some fancy words i don't even know.

*edit* last line fixed as well as a few other minor errors

The band was gracious enough to provide me with the "official" lyrics from the s/t album a few years ago. Here's Edmond & Edward:

EDMOND AND EDWARD

WHERE DOES WANDERLUST END?
IN DELIGHT
WHEN WHOEVER LOVES
OPENS THE LIGHT

WHERE DOES WANDERLUST END? [IN THE SLEEP OF MY SLUMBERING
DOLL]
IN DELIGHT
WHEN WHOEVER LOVES [THIS ENOUGH TO DIE]
OPENS THE LIGHT

WHERE DOES WANDERLUST END? [IN THE BED OF MY SLUMBERING
DOLL]
IN DELIGHT
WHEN WHOEVER LOVE [KISS HER BLOOD
GOODBYE]
OPEN THE THE LIGHT

VERMILLION AND VERDANT WITH GLEE


nice work on the tabs, last_snowstorm. I'll have to try it out. I need a reason to dust off my guitar - it's been woefully under-played ever since my kids were born.

Cheers,

edge

thanks so much for the lyrics, edge! and congrats on the kids!

yeah i guess 'a million averted with pleas' is a little different from 'vermillion and verdant with glee' - i never would have gotten that, ha!

i never played in dadgad before .. for a long time the only thing i knew in that tuning was zeppelin's black mountain side (page's little acoustic thing on their first album). josh from lift to experience played all that texas/jerusalem (hey the usa is the center of jerusalem!) album in dadgad as well. good times!
