Smallcreep's!!! Here's something I posted on the internet over 10 years ago.
A recent post on alt.music.genesis requested the changes to "Cats and Rats in This Neighborhood" from Mike Rutherford's "Smallcreep's Day." Well, wonder no more, because here it is, roughly!

Try this out...
4/4 ||:D E- C E- (8x):|||:7/8 B A/B(3x):|||:4/4 D/C G/B(2x):||

||:D E- C E-(6x):|||:7/8 B A/B(3x):|||:4/4 D/C G/B(2x):||

D bass with melody on top (9 bars)||Then there's a lot more of the same... then

| D C | D E | F# ||Then back to the D bass with melody on top. The D E- C E- arpeggios are D F# A, G B E, C E G, G B E. By the way, "E-" is nomenclature for E minor, and I'm not sure if the D/C G/B sections are in 4/4 or 7/8. I put on the record this morning half awake and jotted down some scribbles, you get the idea. Please correct me if I'm wrong - it's possible!
