Our Lady Peace : Clumsy

Most chords were figured out by Shawn Severin <no email address>.

Questions, comments and corrections are welcome.

tune down 1/2 step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

chords used:

A (A5sus): X02200 D: XX0232

AaddF# (AsusaddF#): 202200 E: 022100

A*: X02255 F# (F#5): 244XXX

B (B5sus): X24400 G: 320033

BaddG# (B5susaddG#): 424400 (open): 000030

C# (C#5sus): X46600

notes:

- I'm not sure what the proper name of the A* chord is.

- Wherever you see 2 chord names per chord above, I used the first name

in the tab, but the one in brackets is the real name, just so you're

not misinformed. I hope this doesn't cause confusion, but I had to

shorten the names to save space.

- (open) obviously isn't a real chord, it just what's played in the bridge.

- The rhythm might be pretty hard to get used to, so listen to the CD.

- Use your discretion on whether to play power chords sustained or not

(FYI: X24400 is sustained while X244XX is not). For instance, you'll

probably want to play straight chords (not sustained) in the pre-chorus.

- In the chorus, throw in some open high E and B strings to make it

sound good. Listen to the CD if you don't know what I mean.

- The bridge is pretty weird. You can either play the single notes or a

combination of the notes and chords. If anyone can add to the rhythm

part, please let me know.
