Any idea what this song is about???
Pigeon Camera
The Tragically Hip off Fully Completely
I think it is in the key of A (or is it E?-I have hard time
distinguishing 'em!)
The opening riff is *something* like:
---------------------------------|
---------------------------------|
---------------------------------|
---14-13-11---14-13-11-9-11------|
-0-----------0-------------------|

C#m A
It was handsome at the auction
C#m
Oh but when we got it home
A C#m A C#m A
It grew up into something we could no longer contain
C#m A
Where's our pigeon camera?
C#m
By now he could be anywhere
A Ab A
And after all that training and after all that training
B E (alternate A and E for remainder..)
Something we could no longer contain
Its boring Im embarrassed I dont endorse that
I didnt want this...
This house it has its politics
Over there that's my room
And that's my sister's
And that's my sister
something we could no longer contain
It's boring, Im embarrassed
I dont endorse this I didnt want that Its horrific
Im embarrassed, I didnt want that I didnt want this
Its like we burned our boots with no continengcy plan..
Big long solo (ANYONE??)
Hope this start is a help -feel free to improve

| A pigeon camera is a low-tech spying device used "back in the day". A small automatic camera was attached to a homing pigeon set to fly over the area in question. The resulting images were used in strategic planning. | |

| Possibly, since pigeon cameras are small and unobtrusive it was used to take photographs of his sister in an unclothed state. But the pictures have to be developed somewhere... If his parents found out, his camera could be anywhere now. It's just a guess. | |

| The second verse is pretty straightforward on that part. What is a pigeon camera specifically? | |
