The Tragically Hip
Ahead by a Century
Re-Tabbed by Keith Waterfield
This is an updated version orginally tabbed by Francois Poudrier and Pat SpruceBoy
Grantis
I just added the rest of the lyrics and moved some of the chords around.
I find this version sounds close enough to the album, you may want to add the Dsus
during the verses for a more authentic sound, or just for fun.

First we'd climb a tree

with illusions of someday

casting a golden light

no dress rehearsal,

this is our life

no dress rehearsal,

this is our life

That E chord sounds bad. It shouldn't be there. Just keep playing D and maybe switch it up by strumming the intro.
AGREED!!! So bad
