The Depression Suite The Tragically Hip
Tabbed By: Joe Blixt
First off: Try different voicing?s for the chords and see what you like, I like
using ----*-----| instead of an open D to get a ----7------------| more chunky sound without ----7------------| too much bass ----7------------| ----5------------| -----------------|
Intro: A E D A
[A]Un[E]der the pillow
[D]I [A]bury my head and try to shut Chicago out
[A]As[E] it turns out there's a whole other world of sounds
[D]Of[A] perfect fifths low skids and Arctic howls
[A]Al[F#m]l saying are you going through something?
[A]Ar[F#m]e you going through something?
[A]Un[E]der the pillow a little room to breathe
[D]th[A]e early morning light's a pale cranberry
[A]I [E]hear the Aaa-aah-aah not now-wow-wow
[D]Of[A] a siren faraway and closing steadily
[A]Sa[F#m]ying are you going through something?
[A]Ar[F#m]e you going through something?
[E]Cu[D]z [A]I-I-I-I I am too
[A]Un[E]der the pillow
[D]I [A]can hear you whisperin' are you going through something?
[A]We[F#m]ll honey are you going through something?
[A]Ar[F#m]e you going through something?
[E]Th[D]en[A] I-I-I-I I am too
Then I-I-I-I I am too

But

When the door is just starting to open?
When Athabasca depends?
Don't you wanna see how it ends

[A]In[Asus4]side m[A]y kettle
[F#m]I didn't come to get lost in the barrens
[E]I didn't come to settle
[E]To[D] be a man on the moon
To get my little slice of heaven
Yeah
[E]Do[A]n'[D]t you wanna see how it ends?
When the door is just starting to open?
And Athabasca depends
Doncha wanna see how it ends
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
The door is just starting to open.
Athabasca depends.
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
Yeah
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
I'm holding the door to the barrens
And Athabasca depends
Doncha wanna see how it ends?
The solo is on its way along with some other do-dads
