Trickle Down - The Tragically Hip

from "Up To Here" (or "up to here")

Intro:

| E | D | E | E | x4

Verse 1:

|E |E |A |A

Old lion's dyin, got left behind

|E |E

Cut your teeth, lose your meat

|A |A

And man it's just a matter of time

|E |E |A |A

Key's to the cuffs, you might be king

|B |B |B |B

That's it, that's all, that's everything

Verse 2:

Skeletons come here to dance

Where barrooms beat their brothers

Into a bloody trance

What's the deal? What did I do?

Who cops all the cops is all I asked of you

Chorus:

|E |D |E |E

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down

|E |D |E |E

Somethings up, taking time to get around

|E |D |A |A

Belly up, all the drinks are on the Crown

|A |A |E |E

It's just a matter of a trickle down

Verse 3:

Twenty miles before the crash

That's the style for a while

And man I think it's gonna last

"Hit the brakes" is all you can say

Conductor says we'll save them for another rainy day

Chorus

Solo:

| E | D | E | E | x10
