BLOW AT HIGH DOUGH - Tragically Hip

Yer Favourites Disc 1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Danny

Email: the_panama_deception@hotmail.com

Tuning: Standard

I thought I would finally give something back to the guitar community

and post this tab up, since i was going to tab it out anyway. just some

notes: I only tabbed the lead guitar part, which is done almost entirely

with a slide. I think there is already an accurate tab for the rhythm,

so i didn't bother. Also, the length of the bars are not ment to be used

for timing, they very in size depending on the notes in the bar.

I'm pretty sure this is correct, although you'll definately have to

listen to the song carefully to understand it and to get a feel of how

the slide is used.
