#Pigeon Camera
#The Tragically Hip off Fully Completely

#I think it is in the key of A (or is it E?-I have hard time
#distinguishing ‘em!)

It was handsome at the auction
Oh but when we got it home
It grew up into something we could no longer contain
Where’s our pigeon camera?
By now he could be anywhere
And after all that training and after all that training
B E (alternate A and E for remainder..)
Something we could no longer contain

Its boring Im embarrassed I dont endorse that

I didnt want this…

This house it has its politics
Over there that’s my room
And that’s my sister’s
And that’s my sister
something we could no longer contain
It’s boring, Im embarrassed
I dont endorse this I didnt want that Its horrific
Im embarrassed, I didnt want that I didnt want this
Its like we burned our boots with no continengcy plan..

Big long solo (ANYONE’)

Hope this start is a help -feel free to improve

Intro: Riff A

Riff B
Gently breathing
Riff A
Lit by the morning sun
Riff B
Through the night
Riff A
It had been raining venom
Riff C/A
I don’t want to be kind
Not a bullet in the right place
Riff B
Or just of two minds
Riff A
More important than important
I want to help you lift enormous things
C5 Riff D
A pinch, a sting, I don’t feel a thing
As the Earth revolved around the sun

Riff B
All those shadows
Riff A
Waiting on the last lights
Riff B
If I dream of being
Riff A
Here comes the night
All of the tiptoeing
Riff C/A
Past our all most fear building
Riff B
I only say this now because
Riff A
I didn’t when it was happening
I want to help you lift enormous things
C5 Riff D
A pinch, a sting, I don’t feel a thing
But as the Earth revolves around the sun

[(G]I c[Cadd9)]an see it all at once
And, oh, what a glittering chance
In my head the game goes quiet
And I can see it all at once
Figuring you’re not the goods
A kid before the rapids
But in my head the game is quiet
Oh, what a glittering chance
Oh, what a glittering chance
Oh, what a glittering chance
At transformation
At transformation
It’s my dream of being
That’s my dream of being
It’s my dream of being
