Scared - The Tragically Hip
from "Day for Night" - 1994 RCA Records

This is just what I could make out from the CD "Day for Night" and
is by no means the exact tab.  Actaully it's my first try so
forgive any discrepancies.  I saw a need for some more Canadian music
up on the FTP sites so I thought I should give what I could.

D     Asus4       G     Asus4
I could make you scared, if you want me to
D      Asus4       G         Asus4
I'm not prepared, but if I have to
D      Asus4       G         Asus4
He said, I can make you scared, it's kinda what I do
D      Asus4       G         D
If you're prepared, here's what I propose to do


D      Asus4       G         Asus4
You're in Russia and more that a million works of art
D      Asus4       G
are wisked out to the woods
D      Asus4       G         Asus4
So when the Nazis find the whole place dark
D      Asus4       G
They'd think god's left the museum for good


D      Asus4       G         Asus4
I make you scared, if that's what I do
D      Asus4       G         Asus4
If you're prepared, if I have to
D      Asus4       G         Asus4
If I make you scared and you pay me to
D      Asus4       G         D
If that's the deal now here's what I can do for you


Asus4             G              Asus4
Now there's a focus group that can prove
Asus4             G              D
this is all nothing but cold calculation
D      Asus4       G         Asus4
D      Asus4       G


Tests have shown that suspicious or hostile
Their lives need not be shortened
truth be told they can live a long, long while
Tickled to death by their importance


If you make me scared, if that's what you do
If I'm unclear can I get out of this thing with me and you
If you feel scared, a bit confused,
I gotta say this sounds a little beyong anything I'm used to


Now there's a precious few that can prove that at the root
This is all nothing but cold calculation


Clearly entranced, you're leaning back now
Defanged destroyer limps into the bay
Down at the beach, it's attracting quite a crowd
As kids wade through the blood out to it to play


OK you made me scared, you did what you set out to do
I'm not prepared, you really had me going there for a minute or two
He said, you made me scared too, I wasn't sure I was getting through
I gotta go, it's been a pleasure doing business with you

Scared
by the Tragically Hip

(intro: fig.1 x2)

(repeat fig. 1)
I could make you scared if you want me to.
I'm not prepared, but if I have to
He said, I can make you scared, it's kinda what I do.
If you're prepared,  here's what I propose to do.
You're in Russia, and more than a million works of art
are whicked out to the woods
So when Nazis find the whole place dark
They'd think god's left the museum for good

I make you scared, if that's what I do
If you're prepared, if I have to
If I make you scared and you pay me to
If that's the deal now here's what I can do for you

A                    G  A            A

G               A               (back to fig. 1)
this is all nothing but cold calculation

Tests have shown that suspicious or hostile
Their lives need not be shortened
truth be told they can live a long, long while
Tickled to death by their importance

If you make me scared, if that's what you do
If I'm unclear can I get out of this thing with me and you
If you feel scared, a bit confused, I gotta say
this sounds a little beyond anything I'm used to

Now there's a precious few that can prove that at the root
G             A                  (back to fig. 1)
This is all nothing but a cold calculation

Clearly entranced, you're leaning back now

|-------------------------------3--------3----------------|I play this song starting with the first figure, then switch between all
four as fits the song.  These are pretty close to the way I play them,
but they're more like a general idea.  Play around with them with the
song to find the style of the song.  Later!
