Biography:
Thrush Hermit was a Halifax, Nova Scotia based alternative rock band formed in 1992 by Joel Plaskett (vocals, guitar), Rob Benvie (vocals, guitar), Ian McGettigan (vocals, bass), and Michael Catano (drums). Catano was replaced by Cliff Gibb in 1994; Gibb in turn left the band in 1999 and was replaced by Benn Ross.
They signed with Murderecords, the label of fellow Haligonians Sloan, in 1994 in time to release their Smart Bomb EP, which featured songs such as Benvie's "French Inhale" and Plaskett's "Hated It".

Great tune by a great underrated band. Also a fun one to sing and play too! Please rate, and enjoy!
This is a little bit of the intro. Keep in mind that the E D A E riff usually includes a little hammer-on
and pull-off of the A, and a slide up to 12th fret after the 2nd E (slide up to 12th is only in the choruses).

E
Have you seen Mrs. Boy?
B
Have you seen Mr. Girl?
A
He's the one who got the looks
E
And she's the one who got the curls
E
Get her on the phone
B
Tell him get his ass back home
A E
He's out looking for a love because she feels so all alone
F#m B
And the bleeding night club band that they went down there to see
A
With their scrawny little hands
B
They ring the bells of liberty
[Chorus]
E D
Oh my soul
A E
I'm not like that
E D
Oh my soul
A E
I'm not like that
E D
Oh my soul
A E
I'm not like that
E D
Oh my soul
A E
I'm not like that
[Verse]
E
She never learned how to love
B
To teach him how to love
A E
And now he's staring at the floor and she's in the clouds above
F#m B
The airport hotel bar, that's where they want to be
A B
Throw the money in the jar and ring the bells of liberty
[Chorus]
E D
Oh my soul
A E
I'm not like that

Oh my soul
