SILENCE - BY THE TEA PARTY
 From the album The Edges of Twilight on EMI records
 Transcribed by Mark Wiebe
 Tuned from low to high  D G D G B D
 This song has some other weird instruments in it but
 this is how I play the guitar part (he probably uses 
 a twelve string on the album.) This transcription is 
 probably not to accurate and you'll have to listen to 
 the song for the timing but I think it should give you 
 the basic idea.

 Here's something I've been working at for a little while now.
 
 Song: SILENCE
 Artist: THE TEA PARTY
 Tabbed by: KRIST SMITH
 -----------------------
 This song uses another cool tuning (I think it's something like open Gsus2/D
 or something):
 e tuned down to d
 B tuned down to A
 G left the same
 D left the same
 A tuned down to G
 E tuned down to D
 
 There are a lot of instruments in on this, so I'm VERY likely wrong.  This
 is 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, but
 I think it's in 4/4 timing (please correct me).

     Si-lent spirit  watch me for  me  with her beauty and with her eyes

 VERSE riff over
     
     In the springtime I'm awakened     as   my  spirits  sieze the night
 
     Heaven help me  I'm foresaken      I should rest here for a  while
 
 BRIDGE:
 (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 keep
 them in scale-just fool around with it).

                     Well, that's my interpretation.
                       
     Corrections/lyrics are requested.  Anyone want to take the time to type
 out the lyrics of the rest of the songs from the CD liner? (I don't have it)

 SILENCE  by  THE TEA PARTY 
 
 
 Here are the lyrics (please append to SILENCE.TAB by Krist Smith) :
 
 
 Silent spirit walks before me
 With her beauty and with her eyes
 Heaven help me
 I feel I'm fading
 I should be rest here
 For a while
 
 In the dreamtime I'm awakened
 As my senses seize the night
 Heaven help me
 I'm forsaken
 I should rest here
 For a while
 
 And lie in the bed you've made ophelia
 Dry are the lips that lost their taste of love
 Drown in the waters that would give you life
 Cry as this lamentation thrusts its knife
 
 In silence
 In silence
 SILENCE
