tune down 1/2 step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
chords used:
A5sus: X02200 AsusaddF#: 202200 A*: X02255
B5sus: X24400 C#5sus: X46600 D: XX0232
E5sus: 022X00 F#: 244XXX G: 320033
G#5: 466XXX (open): 000030
notes:
- I'm not sure what the proper name of the A* chord is.
- I shortened all the "sus" and "5" chord names. So when you see "A" in
the song, it's really A5sus as stated above. I hope this doesn't cause any
confusion, but there just wasn't enough space for the full names.
- (open) obviously isn't a real chord, it just what's played in the bridge.
- The rhythm might be pretty hard to get used to, so listen to the CD.
- In the chorus, throw in some open high E and B strings to make it
sound good.
- The bridge is pretty weird. You can either play the single notes or a
combination of the notes and chords.
- This isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn close. If I made any mistakes,
please let me know!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official OUR LADY PEACE tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
