Song: Save the Planet by the Tragically Hip Tabbed by: Steve Fissel sfissel@shaw.ca This is a simple song, in drop D, I'm surprised it hasn't been tabbed yet. ***************** **Rhythm Guitar** ***************** The Main Riff E|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|------0----------0---0-0--| D|------0----------0---0-0--| A|--------------------------| D|--5-5-------3--3---3------| "if the backwater's clear and . . ."

Just do your own solo. However, if anyone really wants it, just ask and I'll do it just for you. *********** *TAB GUIDE* *********** ---------- --------- -\-or-/--- = Slide -5~~~---- = vibrato ---------- --------- ---------- --------- ---------- --------- --5p3----- =pull off --3h5---- = hammer on ---------- --------- ---------- --------- ---------- --------- --5b------ =bend after --b5----- =bend before ---------- striking the--------- striking the ---------- note --------- note ---------- --------- -5br------ =bend and ---x----- =dead notes ---------- release ---x----- ---------- ---------
