Dire Wolf Chords by Tragically Hip

The Dire Wolf-The Tragically Hip

Here ya go, by popular demand, another Hip tab from "In Violet Light".  Nice and easy this one is, though 
D thing is open for debate.  I'm on my acoustic, and that's as good as I can make it sound....comments?  markbunt@shaw.ca

   This here is the D-THING riff that the song is based around.  Try and make it work for you and your 
style....there are also all sorts of fills here and there.  You'll have to figure that our yourself

D-THING
 in that September off
 Isle aux Morts
 the desultory sea
 grew more so through the night
 and made one think of
 tawny ports,
 as aspen tremblin'
 in tomorrow's thorough light
G
 and of Tallulah Bankhead
 and Canada Lee
D-THING
 somewhere far-off, peaceful, sleeping
 and done with acting
G
 past the Dire Wolf's lair
 on a Newfoundland's paws
D-THING
 close to nowhere
 and halfway across

CHORUS
    G                A
but never more 'here'
  Bm                   D
expanse getting broader
       G                 A
though bigger boats been
Bm
done by less water
    G               A Bm              D
tho better boats been done by this water
    G               A D-THING
tho better boats been done by less water

D-THING
 in that september off
 Isle aux Morts
 colourable seas
 grew more to through the night

G
 And made one think of
 yawnin' shores

D-THING
 Gambier-bleached
 in tomorrow's thorough light

G
 and the Tallulah Bankhead
 and Canada Lee

D-THING
 somewhere far-off, peaceful, sleeping
 they learned to love sleep

cHORUS
at the Dire Wolf's crest
the Newfoundland paused
desolate's best
was gotten across
we were never more 'here'
expanse getting broader
when better boats been
done by this water

SOLO (G D-THING)

cHORUS
at the Dire Wolf's best
the Newfoundland paused
so desperate as
to be a lost cause
you were never more hear
expanse getting broader
when better boats been
done by this water
where bigger boats been done by less water
and betting boats been done by this water
when bigger boats been done by less water
and better boats been done by this water
