The Flag by the Barenaked Ladies Well, here it is. My first transcription submission. I figured I was close. You'll find that the chords and notes are all right on the money. The only curve ball may be the Bb/D chord, which is the only uncommon chord not represent in tab (see the below chart). Naturally, you will have to supplement my transcription with some emulation by ear. Kudos to Carrie Mitnick for turning me on to the Barenaked Ladies. -The Dins Here's the only cord that needs explanation: Bb/D EADGBE xx0331 Intro: Riff A: E--1---1-------1-------|-------8----8-------7--7---| B--3-----3--------3----|------10---10-------8--8---| G--2-------0h2---------|xx----10---10--xx---9--9---| D--0--0-0-----0--0-----|xx--0----------xx-0--------| A----------------------|---------------------------| E----------------------|---------------------------| Repeat 3X Verse1: Dm G The phone . . . it's 7 o'clock.
