Person: Almost Hip
song: Lake Fever
artist: The Tragically Hip
tab: Band: The Tragically Hip
Song: Lake Fever
Transcribed By: Almost Hip
This is another cool song played by The Hip at new years. from my
MP3's, I've managed to take a stab at the tab: If you play this song
over the MP3 it will not sound right because The Hip always have thier
guitars tuned flat in concert. If you want to play it over the MP3 tune
Db Bb Gb Db Gb Db.
The acoustic introduction goes something like this
Open G tuning high to low: D B G D G D
Riff1:
D--0---0--(0)----------------------0---|
B--3------(3)----6------5----5-----3---|
G--0------(0)--0---0--0---0----0---0---|
D--0------(0)----------------------0---|
G--x-------------------------------x---|
D--x-------------------------------x---|

When we're together, even when we're apart.

Tell your story about the lake fever,

Or we can skip to the coital fury.

You didn't say yes or no or neither.

Can we take a little(?) bit further?
Can we skip to the after-effects part?
I'm tryin' to make you a believer.
Don't want a little piece of your heart.
Just tellin' you a story about the lake fever.
We can skip to the neutral fury.
You didn't say yes or no, neither.
You whispered "Hurry"
Hurry
Hurry
Hurry
Hurry.

Wanna be your Asian screen-door.
Wanna be the stars of Algonquin.
Wanna be your roarin' floorboards.
Wanna break the hearts of everyone.

Cause discontent to the (?) of investigation.

And I'm gonna rain descent, collapse your tent.
G
Jack up your rent,
C
Till we're talkin' in whispers again.
riff1
Until we're talking in whispers again.
Until we're talking in whispers again.

| Its actually the tale of an actual Lake fever, the Cholera breakout on Lake Ontario in the early 20th century. Two young lovers are walking on the shores, and the young man is asking for sex, in not so many questions. And she basically says yes, by saying "hurry". Gord had this to say: "I know you don't want to hear it, but in 1832 there was a cholera epidemic up and down the lake. Many people died where you stand tonight. And now here's a song about two young people who don't give a shit." | |

| This may seem odd, but it appears that this song takes an esoteric view on a crappy horror movie. Talking in whispers, ceasing the investigation, coital fury, the after-effects part. It sounds like a teenage couple is boning in a cabin by a lake, and they meet their fates in the style of Jason Voorhees. | |
