I'll update this tab for the rest of the song soon, cuz i'm not a good lead guitar player, and this song has too many licks going in the background. Also, there's a solo somewhere, so I'll need more time. But you can survive with these parts for now! ======= Our Lady Peace A Story About a Girl Tabbed by: Andy Picker Tuning: down a half step www.ourladypeace.cc Guitar 1 intro E|----------------------------| B|----------------------------| G|----------------------------| D|------10---9---10---9---10--| A|----7----7---7----7---7-----| E|--7-------------------------| (continued) E|------------------| B|---------------8--| G|------------------| D|------10---9------| A|----7----7---7----| E|--7---------------| Guitar 2 E|-----------------------------| B|-----------------------------| G|-----------------------------| D|--5-5---5-5---73-3---3-3-3--| A|--5-5---5-5---73-3---3-3-3--| E|--3-3---3-3---51-1---1-1-1--| Chorus Guitar 1 E|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|------5----------------------------------------| D|--x-x-5-7-3----2-2----2/5----5-5----5-53-3-3--| A|--x-x-3-7-3----2-2----2/5----5-5----5-53-3-3--| E|--x-x---5-1----0-0----0/3----3-3----3-31-1-1--| |Palm Mute| |Palm Mute| Guitar 2 E|----------------------------------------------------| B|------20------20------20-----20--20-18---18-17--17--| G|19-17---19-17---19-17---19-17--19------19-----19--17| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------| Second verse Guitar 1 seen above Second verse Guitar 2 E|-----------------------------| B|-----------------------------| G|--7h9-7h9—7h9-7h9-9b-7h9p7v--| D|-----------------------------| A|-----------------------------| E|-----------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------| G|--7h9-7h9—7h9-7h9-9b-7h9p7v—5h9-52-2h4-2p0--| D|---------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------| E|-------------------| B|-------------------| G|--7h9-75-5h7-53--| D|-------------------| A|-------------------| E|-------------------| Solo E|---------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------| G|---7h9-7h9-x-x-7h9-7h9-9b-9-7h9-12-12-12-12bp11h12-| D|---------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------| Solo Continued E|--------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------| G|----5h7-5h7-x-x-5h7-5h7-x-x-7b-7-5-5h7p5p0/16-16-18-17--| D|--------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------| Little solo that continues back into chorus E|---------------| B|---------------| G|---7b-7-5h7p5--| D|---------------| A|---------------| E|---------------|
