suspended deal but I haven't looked it up.) The song pretty well runs=20

Chorus

This is hazy part. It's hard to make out the changes but the=20

chords are G-D-A or some variation thereof. Your mission my fellow Hip=20

fans is to figure out the timing. (Actually you will have to do that for=20

the whole song I am just supplying the chords, but listening to the song=20

will be more than sufficient.)

I have "attempted" to tab out this section without timing. A listen=20

will reveal all. The "xxxx" mean you palm mute/bang the strings without=20

making a note/scrape those strings.) Play this part really loud and=20

Tom Thompson came paddling past

I'm pretty sure it was him

And he spoke so softly in accordance

With the growing of the dim=D4

Cause I think I'm ready

I've been shaking all night long

But my hands are steady."

GThree pistols came and thrDee people weDsus4nt, on DtheDsus4ir way G

GThree pistols strDong and thAree people spent

Well he found his little lonely love

His bride of the northern woods

But, she took me to the Opera House

Like she said she would

Then she sighed and she fell from the balcony

Shakespeare bent to touch

She never had any time for me=20

Cause I didn't protest enough

Three pistols came and three people went, on their way

Two pistols strong and three people spent

Little girls come on remembrance day

Placing flowers on his grave

She waits in the shadows 'til after dark

To sweep them all away

I say, bring on the brand new renaissance

Cause I think I'm ready

I've been shaking all night long

But my hands are steady

Three pistols came and three people went, on their way

Three pistols strong and three people spent

Three pistols came and three people went on their way

One pistols strong and three people spent
