Subject: TAB: Inevitability Of Death
Inevitability of Death - The Tragically Hip
>From DAY FOR NIGHT, 1994
Tabbed by Duncan Koerber
Nothing fancy here tab wise. The timing really doesn't mean
anything - just makes it look nice. But the general idea is there.
This song is in drop D tuning.
The main riff:
e-------------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------------|
D-0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--|
A-0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--|
D-0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--|
End the main riff with either PARTS 1, 2 or 3, when appropriate
(listen to the song)
These parts are used elsewhere, so mix and match
when needed!

| Apparently, this song is about Terry Fox. He has a really bad case of cancer and it took one of his legs. To overcome his status as disabled, he ran all across Canada, more than 3000 miles from Newfoundland to Thunder Bay, Ontario. He died a year after his run in 1981. I don't know if the entire song is about that but it makes for a great storytelling. | |
