New Orleans is Sinking
by The Tragically Hip
tabbed by Adam Hill
Considering this is the first thing I've ever tabbed out by ear, I know it
isn't totally correct. However, it's enough of a start for anyone to play
around with and get it sounding how you want it.
A lot of the song consists of the lead guitar doing little fills, and I
haven't tabbed all of those out because you can improvise yourself. For the
most part, they're made up of the notes in the E Pentatonic scale:
e|------------------------------0--3--5-
B|------------------------0--3--5-------
G|------------------0--2--4-------------
D|------------0--2----------------------
A|------0--2----------------------------

SONG STRUCTURE:
You can switch parts from one guitar to the other, it's put this way because
that's how my band plays it: with Guitar 1 parts on a bass. And sometimes
you have to change the parts a bit just to make them flow together better.
Anyways....
