SONG: 'It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken'
BAND: The Tragically Hip
ALBUM: In Violet Light (2002)
TABBED BY: Ross Guertin ([email protected])
TUNING: EADGBe
G#m E
When the colour of the night
G#m E
And all the smoke for one life
C#m, F#
Gives way to shaky movements,
C#m
Improvisational skills,
E
A forest of whispering speakers
G#m
Let's swear that we will
E
Get with the times,
G#m
In a current health to stay
E
Let's get friendship right
C#m
Get life day-to-day
E
In the forget-yer-skates dream
B
Full of countervailing woes
F#
In diverse-as-ever scenes
E
Proceeding on a need-to-know
F#5 E
In a face so full of meaning
F#5 E
As to almost make it glow
E
O' for a good life,
F#5 E
We just might have to weaken
B
And find somewhere to go
E
Go somewhere we're needed
B
Find somewhere to grow
E
Grow somewhere we're needed
