Transcription by Noel (taken from a thread at Hotel Womb):
The chord positions are relative to the capo in order
to avoid the horror of transposition.

It continues in the same fashion and progression. The lead and
accompaniment parts are not too terribly hard to approximate.
Keep a tight right hand.
Elegantly simple, brilliant song.
The line 'stampeding stallions of foam...' seems to be a tip of the
hat to a brief scene in the old animated version of Tolkien's Lord
of the Rings, in which one of the magicians had added frothy white
horse figures to a spell of a rushing wave of water, as a personal
touch. I haven't seen that film since I was just a kid, I don't
recall too much about it......
I hope someone can use this song; I have never transcribed a song
online before, so please forgive any glaring mistakes.

An unbelievable time
I would rush to find
Even if I thought that it might threaten me.
A thousand things to do
To follow them all through
Things to learn and see and they will better me.

Thumping hard, banging in my mind

It's so easy, easy to fly,

Transcription by Fenton.
One of the songs that I had wanted to figure out (on guitar) more than
anything was You Whisper, off of MWP's Art Attack. For the longest time
(2 years or so) I couldn't. This made me less than pleased. [Fast
forward to present.] I've been playing around with a riff that faintly
reminded me of something I've heard before, but couldn't quite place it.
Then it struck me: You Whisper (okay, so you saw that coming--I didn't).
I threw the CD in and figured it out in about six minutes (many of those
minutes spent figuring out that he uses a capo (: ). Anyway, I was very
happy. Here it is:
*capo 2nd fret

I'm not 100% on the arpeggiations, but i believe that the chords and the
walk-downs are right. I was happy to figure it out.
Am G (rpt until "Just listen")
C F (X2), then back to Am G...
"And I won't be afraid"
Dm Dm/C G
"The quality of being"

"Everything is in space"
