Elephant Talk Lyrics

"Elephant Talk" from the King Crimson album "Discipline"
Fripp Guitar Part
This transcription is set in standard tuning. I find it works pretty well.
The arpeggios should be played staccato.
The "(__)" in the solo is meant to be a tie, indicating in this case
that the 2nd note is hammered.
After Tony Levin's Stick intro, the Fripp part begins as:
(E minor Arpeggio)
-4---------------4---------------| repeated 8 times then
distorted chords during "A" verse vocals:
-7---5-----------------------| repeated 4 times then
(A minor Arpeggio)
-5-----4---2-----5---4---2-------| repeated 8 times then
same distorted chords during "B" verse vocals:
-7---5-----------------------| repeated 4 times then
(F# minor Arpeggio)
(A minor Arpeggio)
-5-----4---2-----5---4---2-------| repeated 8 times then
same distorted chords during "C" verse vocals:
-7---5-----------------------| repeated 4 times then
(F# minor Arpeggio)
The Roland Guitar Synth solo:
-6-------------------|-9-------9----------------|| (end of solo) then

-5-----4---2-----5---4---2-------| repeated 8 times with the "D" verse then
