Three Pistols The Tragically Hip
Three Pistols<br/> Written and Performed by The Tragically Hip<br/> From=20the album Road Apples 1991<br/> <br/> Tabbed by John Siambani jsiamban@novell.business.uwo.ca or<br/> siambani@julian.uwo.ca<br/> <br/> Drop low E-string to a D<br/> <br/> Chords: B x244xx D xx023x A x0222x Weird A x0210x (Hit the chords=20<br/> like power chords. This ain't a ballad)<br/> <br/> Notes: This is a simple song after you figure out that Weird A (it's a=20<br/> suspended deal but I haven't looked it up.) The song pretty well runs=20<br/> on the B-D-A-Asus? set for the majority of the song. I believe each=20<br/> line uses all four verse chords.<br/> <br/> Chorus: This is hazy part. It's hard to make out the changes but the=20<br/> chords are G-D-A or some variation thereof. Your mission my fellow Hip=20<br/> fans is to figure out the timing. (Actually you will have to do that for=20<br/> the whole song I am just supplying the chords, but listening to the song=20<br/> will be more than sufficient.)<br/> <br/> One of the best parts is the heavy power chording late in the song. =20<br/> This is accomplished by de-tuning your bottom E-string down to a D. =20<br/> This facilitates in the power chording.<br/> <br/> I have "attempted" to tab out this section without timing. A listen=20<br/> will reveal all. The "xxxx" mean you palm mute/bang the strings without=20<br/> making a note/scrape those strings.) Play this part really loud and=20<br/> angrily. :)<br/> <br/> Riff (late in the song and finishes it)<br/> A [10-8-10---xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-8-2-0-2-]<br/> D [10-8-10---xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-8-2-0-2-] (Dropped D)<br/> <br/> Enjoy, and as always...comments and corrections welcome=20<br/> at jsiamban@novell.business.uwo.ca<br/> <br/> I know a fair number of other Hip songs...so hopefully soon!<br/> <br/> john siambani<br/> <br/> p.s. I am absolutely dying for any tragically hip bootlegs...please! I=20<br/> KNOW they are out there...<br/> <br/> B5 D5 A5 Funny A (x0210x)<br/> Tom Thompson came paddling past<br/> I'm pretty sure it was him<br/> And he spoke so softly in accordance<br/> With the growing of the dim=D4<br/> Cause I think I'm ready<br/> I've been shaking all night long<br/> But my hands are steady."<br/> <br/> G D Dsus4 D Dsus G<br/> Three pistols came and three people went, on their way<br/> G D A<br/> Three pistols strong and three people spent<br/> <br/> Well he found his little lonely love<br/> His bride of the northern woods<br/> But, she took me to the Opera House<br/> Like she said she would<br/> Then she sighed and she fell from the balcony<br/> Shakespeare bent to touch<br/> She never had any time for me=20<br/> Cause I didn't protest enough<br/> <br/> Three pistols came and three people went, on their way<br/> Two pistols strong and three people spent<br/> <br/> Little girls come on remembrance day<br/> Placing flowers on his grave<br/> She waits in the shadows 'til after dark<br/> To sweep them all away<br/> <br/> I say, bring on the brand new renaissance<br/> Cause I think I'm ready<br/> I've been shaking all night long<br/> But my hands are steady<br/> <br/> Three pistols came and three people went, on their way<br/> Three pistols strong and three people spent<br/> Three pistols came and three people went on their way<br/> One pistols strong and three people spent<br/> <br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
