Kingston, Ontario, Canada (1983 - Present)  The Tragically Hip's infectious songs, catchy melodies, inspired lyrics, and solid musicianship have secured their place as the kings of rock in Canada. Formed in the early '80s in Kingston, Ontario, they are: Gordon Downie (vocals), Paul Langlois and Rob Baker (guitars), Gord Sinclair (bass) and Johnny Fay (drums).  The group met while at Kingston Collegiate Vocational Institute (KCVI) and all attended Queen's University in Kingston.

Verse 1
D
First we?d climb a tree
D
and maybe then we?d talk
D
or sit silently
D
and listen to our thoughts
C
with illusions of someday
D
casting a golden light
C
no dress rehearsal, 
D
this is our life



Pre-Chorus
D                                C
that?s where the hornet stung me
		         D
and I had a feverish dream
                C
with revenge and doubt
                       D
tonight, we smoke them out

Chorus
A                         G                            A 
You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century, you are ahead 
            G
by a century


Verse 2
D
Stare in the morning shroud
D
and then the day began
D
I tilted your cloud
D
you tilted my hand
C
rain falls in real time 
D
and rain fell through the night
C                  D
no dress rehearsal, this is our life


Pre-Chorus
D                              C
That?s when the hornet stung me
                    D
and I had a serious dream
                 C
with revenge and doubt
                        D
tonight, we smoked them out

Outro
A                          G                           A
You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century, you are ahead 
            G                            A                    G
by a century,                             you are ahead by a century, 
                         A                           G    D D D
you are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century

Ahead By A Century

G        		A	    G		         A
I left your house this morning about a quarter after nine 
G                      A      G		      A
Coulda been the Willie Nelson, coulda been the wine
Bm			  C 
When I left your house this morning
G		      A 
It was a little after nine 
Bm			       C
It was in Bobcaygeon I saw the constellations
G			     A 
Reveal themselves one star at a time 

G	A	G	A

G		          A    G		  A
Drove back to town this morning with working on my mind
G		    A
I thought of maybe quitting
G		         A
Thought of leaving it behind
Bm		       C 
Went back to bed this morning 
G			       A
And as I'm pulling down the blind
Bm		         C 
The sky was dull and hypothetical 
G		           A		
And falling one cloud at a time
 
                 Em	       C
That night in Toronto with its checkerboard floors 
          G		        D
Riding on horseback and keeping order restored 
              Em
Til the men they couldn't hang 
               C
Stepped to the mic and sang 
          D
And their voices rang with that Aryan twang 

G	A	G	A  ( X 2 )

I got to your house this morning just a little after nine 
In the middle of that riot 
Couldn't get you off my mind 
So I'm at your house this morning 
Just a little after nine 
Cause it was in Bobcaygeon where I saw the constellations 
Reveal themselves one star at a time.

Bobcaygeon

The way they like to kick people when their down
C                         G            F
You said, 'please stop worrying bout this

Music At Work

38 Years Old
The Tragically Hip

Standard Tuning
Listen for strumming & timing

Am	C G

Am		C	G
Twelve men broke loose in '73
From Millhaven maximum security
Twelve pictures lined up across the front page
Seems the Mounties had a summertime war to wage

Am		C	G
The chief told the people they had nothing to fear
The last thing they'd wanna do is hang around here
They mostly came from towns with long French names
But one of the dozen was a hometown shame

[Chorus]
C/G	D	Am
Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall
Been one seat empty 18 years in all
Freezing slow time away from the world
He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl
He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl

Am		C	G
We were sittin' at the table, heard the telephone ring
Father said he'd tell me if he saw anything
Heard the tap on the window in the middle of the night
Held back the curtains for my older brother mike

Am			D
See my sister got raped, so a man got killed
C/G			D
Little boy went to prison, man's buried on the hill
Am			D
Folks went back to normal when they closed the case
C/G			D
They still stare at their shoes when they pass our place

[Solo]

Am		C	G
My mother cried the horror has finally ceased
He whispered yeah, for the time being, at least
And over his shoulder, on the squad car megaphone
Said let's go Mikey, son, we're takin' you home

  That's it, that's all, that's everything

Verse 2:
  Skeletons come here to dance
  Where barrooms beat their brothers
  Into a bloody trance
  What's the deal? What did I do?
  Who cops all the cops is all I asked of you

Chorus:
|E   |D     |E              |E
  Lining up, waiting on the trickle down
|E         |D    |E             |E
  Somethings up, taking time to get around
|E    |D    |A                 |A
  Belly up, all the drinks are on the Crown
|A            |A          |E            |E
  It's just a matter of a trickle down

Verse 3:
  Twenty miles before the crash
  That's the style for a while
  And man I think it's gonna last
  "Hit the brakes" is all you can say
  Conductor says we'll save them for another rainy day

Trickle Down

G    C          G             C
Sun down in the paris of the prairies
G     C           G            C
Wheat kings have all their treasures burried.
G           C            G     C
And all you hear are the rusty breezes
G       C          G         C
Pushing around the weather vane Jesus


G      C                G        C
In his Zippo lighter he sees the killer's face
G         C           G             C
Or maybe it's someone standing in a killer's place
G      C                G        C
20 years for nothing, well thats nothing knew...besides
G        C             G            C
No one's interested in something ya didn't do.


D               G             C
Wheat Kings and pretty things.
D                       G            C
Let's just see what the morning brings


G                C                  G              C
There's a dream he dreams where the high school is dead and stark
G          C             G                  C
It's a museum and we're all locked up in it after dark,
G             C         G                C
the walls are lined all yellow grey and sinister
G          C              G              C
hung with pictures of our parent's prime minister's


D               G             C
Wheat Kings and pretty things.
D                       G            C
Let's just see what the morning brings


G             C            G C
Late breaking story on the CBC
G        C            G                C
A nation whispers "we always knew that he'd go free"
G               C       G               C
And ya can't be fond of living in the past.
G          C                   G               C
Cuz if you are then there's no way that you're gonna last


D               G             C
Wheat Kings and pretty things.
D                       G            C
Let's just see what the morning brings

C                     G
Se a vida as vezes dá uns dias de segundos cinzas
           Am           F
E o tempo tic taca devagar
         Dm                   Am
Ponha o teu melhor vestido, brilha teu sorriso
      F              C
Vem pra cá, vem pra cá

Se a vida muitas vezes só chuvisca, só garôa

E tudo não parece funcionar

Vem pra cá

Como intro:
Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener
el motor que contamina
el aire que a diario respiras

Am
Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro
y que mañana tal vez, no lo sé.
Por eso hoy

Reflexionando en esto,

y dejó otro día para ser.

Vender, comprar.
Comer, cagar.
Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.
Ser o no ser

Culpable o inocente, malviviente o juez.
O quien con sólo su firma decreta la ley.
Pronucleares informistas modelan la situación.
Más tecnología, por más energía.
Fuga radiactiva de progreso.

Vender, comprar.
Comer, cagar.
Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.
Ser o no ser.

Derrame de combustible, exterminio forestal.
El motor contaminante no se detendrá.
Para ser hay otro día en el planeta inferior.
Como cualquier día, como todo día
Con o sin mi reflexión.

Beautiful Girls

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe,

me sentirás tal vez

me sentirás

las aguas en tus ojos

vibran su dulce brillo

una piel y una flor

son tus pechos,

que no piensan menos mal,

oh por favor,

gira loca girasol . . .

déjame como estoy,

ya te amé y allí morí,

quédate quédate oh!

déjame explicarte,

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

extiéndete una vez más . . .

eres mi esperanza,

solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo cuerpos,

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe

tal vez me sentirás

Andar

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.

Chorus
