                       Whatever - Our Lady Peace
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Artist: Ourlady Peace
Song: Whatever
Tabbed by: ZeroisGreatman
Tunning: DADGBE

[Personal Note:](Ok, I like to point out that I haven't heard this song, ever in it's
entirty[Hence the Intro only thing], however, I'm a huge wrestling fan of Chris Beniot,
and I hear this song all the time whenever he comes out... So, sorry if I'm missing some
parts of the song...)

Intro:  Now, there is a very unique technique to playing the intro.  It requires a lot
of sustain to pull off (so it would be a good idea to use a good amount of reverb and
distortion).  You have to play the D note as mentioned on the tab, but in order to make
the sound after the note, you have to go to the 10th fret, and hold the note with your
finger, but not push your finger down, just a slight bit of pressure.  This way, when
you try to strum that not, you have the sound effect of the note, without the actual
playing of the note.  I'll put an "p" where this note would be played.(I think this
technique is called pitch harmonics, but I'm not exactly sure.)

[Remember p= 10th fret noise]

Verse: Now, this is actually a bass riff, played with a whole bunch of wierd guitar
pitches...I'll post both. You can play the bass riff with an octave pedal. 

"There's no holding me back"
(Bass riff)

A|------------------------------|
D|-5-5-5-5-10--5-5-5-5-10--5-10-|

(Guitar riff): This is sort of hard to play, remember the whole "p" note thing? Well,
it's like that, I'll post the chords that you play...BUT DON'T ACTUALLY PLAY THEM, just
put slight pressure, and let the sustain and distortion do the rest.

e|-0----0----0----0-|
B|-3----1----3----2-|
G|-2----0----4----3-|
D|-0----0----0----0-|
A|------3----2----1-|
D|------------------|

Pre-chours: Same as the Intro Riffs

Chorus: "But whatever you get..."
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|-6-6-6-6-6-6--8-8-8-8-8--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
G|-5-5-5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7-7--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
D|-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
A|-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
D|-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|

Post chorus riff: Ok, this is after the chorus is over...It's sort of like a slide
between 2 D chords of 2 different octaves.  You strum the first sort of broken D chord,
but you don't actually strum the second one, you just slide to it, and use some vibrato,
in order to play this note the way it sounds on the track.  Sustain will help it make
the noise sound better(or at least hear it being played.)

e|-------|
B|-3/15~-|
G|-2/14~-|
D|-------|
A|-------|
D|-------|

Then the Intro repeats itself.

This is like the first 45 secs - 1min of the song...So, it's mostly just the intro.

Any who, any body who wants to add any comments, corrections, etc, Please feel free to
do so.  If you want to use my Intro tab, to put into a full version, it's ok, but please
put my name on the tab you use.
Anyway, I hope all of you Our lady of peace/Chris Beniot fans enjoy.
