Get Back Again by The Tragically Hip
Tabbed by Steve Fissel
sfissel@shaw.ca

I was a little stressed tonight, so I thought tabbing something out
might relieve a little tension.  Here's my take on Get Back Again.

One thing you need to do in this song to make it sound like the
recording is when you're in between chords, strum the bottom 3
strings without fretting anything.  This creates a little cacaphony
that contrasts the harmony of the chords.
