The lyrics to this song were really difficult to get by ear
and the mixing on the track makes it hard to decipher as the vocals
Butt I tried, it is based on
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures In Wonderland just as Jefferson Airplane
had done a number of similar subject the year before.I think I nailed
the lyrics too by trying to relate everything to characters in the story.
hope to put more Giles Giles and Fripp pre Crimson folk on here.
Play Dbm as a barre chord The song sits on the sequence Dbm F# Dbm F#m

for a song online too.

the song you can get it, the solo becomes duo as presumably both Peter
