Pigeon Camera by The Tragically Hip
Tabbed by Steve Fissel
sfissel@shaw.ca or icq #9964990

This song is pretty simple, but I felt that the tabs
that are around were sort of lacking so, I'm doing this
one because I'm just listening to the song and looking
at the tab, and it doesn't really show you how to play the
song, just what it sounds like.

By the way, I stole the chord chart part from steve proulx's
tab, all I did was add the word riff to some chords and added
a couple extra parts.

The song, basically is chords and that little run that is
played throughout the whole thing, but you have to play it
in different forms.

you repeat the second riff there and then guitar 2 throws
in a few a chords

As it says above, those riff change, sometimes forget the
more improvisational, and later half and just repeat the
part with the main run in it, or the improv part may be
different.
