   New Orleans is Sinking
by The Tragically Hip

tabbed by Adam Hill

Considering this is the first thing I've ever tabbed out by ear, I know it 
isn't totally correct. However, it's enough of a start for anyone to play 
around with and get it sounding how you want it.

A lot of the song consists of the lead guitar doing little fills, and I 
haven't tabbed all of those out because you can improvise yourself. For the 
most part, they're made up of the notes in the E Pentatonic scale:
e|------------------------------0--3--5-
B|------------------------0--3--5-------
G|------------------0--2--4-------------
D|------------0--2----------------------
A|------0--2----------------------------
E|-0--3---------------------------------
