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

Verse 1
D
First we?d climb a tree
D
and maybe then we?d talk
D
or sit silently

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

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

and I had a serious dream

with revenge and doubt

tonight, we smoked them out

Music At Work

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

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

Pushing around the weather vane Jesus

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

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

hung with pictures of our parent's prime minister's

Late breaking story on the CBC

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.

Cuz if you are then there's no way that you're gonna last

Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough

Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?

Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
