OUR LADY PEACE - "Is Anybody Home" Tablature
Official OUR LADY PEACE Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song: Is Anybody Home?
Artist: Our Lady Peace
Album: Happiness... Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch
Tabbed by: (the exhausted) L.A.
This took me a while to tab. It has a complicated bassline, not a bunch of repeating
riffs. So I've added lyrical notations so's you can follow along. As the notes play
faster than he sings, the beginning (i.e. first letter) of the lyric is written over
or under the note that comes at the same time, but the rest of the lyric is off.
Therefore, I've put these notations on top and below to help you figure it out. It's
all in the order the song flows in, w/ all variations and such things. Listen to the
song to get exactly what I mean. Enjoy!
Notation:
= hold note
q quarter -| I'm using these sparingly, so you'll know the basic speed of the
e eighth -|- song. wherever there's a grouping like 44444444 they're sixteenth
s sixteenth -| notes and the ones around them usually. Listen to the song for
clarification. (oh yeah, and h-half note)

Surprisingly enough, that whole long outro is only about :35 seconds.
A bunch of sixteenth notes can take up alot of room. Anyhoo, questions,
comments, playful banter, and if you find something terribly wrong with
this tab, email me:
dumbassLA@users.basstabarchive.com (it's play on words) or my old address
L_A_H@hotmail.com. Makes more sense for me to revamp this if someone finds
errors with it (as I have it saved) than if you go and copy the whole thing
to make some changes.
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.
