Song: A Story About A Girl
Artist: Our Lady Peace
CD: Gravity
Tabbed by: Tighe Racicot
This isn't the *solo* per-se, but it's the main riff during the second and third chorus.
I'm working out the solo and the intro/main riff that plays throughout the song, but
haven't gotten it yet. I'll include the main chord pattern as well that plays behind
these
riffs during the chorus.
Our Lady Peace's traditional guitar tuning is drop-b (drop all strings by one semitone.)
This
applies to this song, but watch for the others on Gravity. Innocent is one where it's
drop-Db
(lower E to Db and lower the remaining strings one semitone).
Here it is:
eb |-----------------15--|---------13-13--12-12---------|----------19-19--15-15---------
Bb |---------15--13------|-----13----------------13-13--|------13----------------13-13--
Gb |-----12--------------|-12---------------------------|--12---------------------------
Db |-10------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------
Ab |---------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------
Eb |---------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------
( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 )
That's it. The order goes like this:
First time: 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2
Second time: 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2 (x2)
Backup guitar:
This plays behind the lead riffs
eb |-----------------------------------------------
Bb |-----------------------------------------------
Gb |--x-x--5---------------------------------------
Db |--x-x--5--7----3--3-3--/--5--5--5-5----3--3--
Ab |--x-x--3--7----3--3-3--/--5--5--5-5----3--3--
Eb |----------5----1--1-1--/--3--3--3-3----1--1--
[P M] [P M]
P.S. Note the timing when the lead riff begins. There is a slight delay after they start
to play the Cb (x355) chord.
Any questions, email tigheracicot@hotmail.com or add me to yer MSN. I'm working out TONS
of their songs since there aren't any online, and the ones that are suck. Next up:
Is Anybody Home (Even the lead parts! :O )
Peace (Our Lady),
Tighe

| I agree with all of you, this song kicks ass. I am seeing Our Lady Peace in Sarnia Canada, haha talk about a road trip :-D 3 hours, international. haha This Song reminds me of some of my old friends. They made their choices and now are stuck with them, but they know even if I don't talk to them for a year. I will be there w/ Bail Money a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, or a sofa to sleep on. Whatever it takes, to my girls, don't let the world swallow you. | |

| I agree with kris_hu. I dont hate the rest of Gravity, but it does seem to be leaning on the peachy side. | |

| I completely agree with CherryLover! This song and 'Do You Like It' are my favorite two tracks. I have yet to see a OLP concert. They played last week about an hour from where I live, but I missed out!!! :( | |

| This is my favorite song from Gravity also. I am going to see Our Lady Peace on thursday the 25th, but I find the fact that Mike won't be there quite depressing. | |

| nothing against OLP or the song, but this line kinda offends me Baby girl, stand up and fight This is not some paradise Oh it's just where we live it's almost like he's saying she needs to suck it up and move on. but it's not always that easy. | |
