Artist: Tragically Hip :Song: 38 Years Old Standard Tuning: BUT you must tune down the high e to D You will need to form an Am chord AND add your pinky to the high e string at the 2nd fret, then slide to 3rd, we'll call it Am* for short, strum the riff You will see...and when you play the G6 don't play the high e string. It won't sound right, cuz we dropped it. The end is long and you can mess around to your liking. Am* C E7 G6 Twelve men broke loose in '73 From Millhaven maximum security Twelve pictures lined up across the front page Seems the Mounties had a summertime war to wage The chief told the people they had nothing to fear The last thing they'd wanna do is hang around here They mostly came from towns with long French names But one of the dozen was a hometown shame [Chorus]

Am* C E7 G6 We were sittin' at the table, heard the telephone ring Father said he'd tell me if he saw anything Heard the tap on the window in the middle of the night Held back the curtains for my older brother mike

Am C E7 C Am (a few times over end solo) Am* C E7 Am* C G6 Am*
