Tragically Hip - Fiddler's Green - Road Apples
Tabbed by: Mason Guetter
Email: Masonguetter@hotmail.com
Here's my take on the road apples version of fiddlers green. This is the best way to
it with only one guitar, but it sounds even better with a second guitar, in regular tuning,
strumming the chords all the way through.
Tune to open E tunning.

Verse 2:
His tiny knotted heart, well I guess it never worked too good
the timber tore apart, and the water gorged the wood
you can hear her whispered prayer, for men at masts that always lean
the same wind that moves her hair, moves her boy through Fiddler's Green

perfect! awesome! thanks!
Great tab thanks!! Personally I find it easier to tune down to (low to high) D A D F# A D then capo on 2, its easier on the strings and neck. But works either way!
i'd have to agree with aimhighwillis, broke quite a few strings attempting it the first couple times. over all though, excellent tab. couldnt ask for more, thanks
