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.

Intro: D Dsus4 D6 D E (repeat 3 times)
First we'd climb a tree
and maybe then we'd talk
or sit silently
and listen to our thoughts
with illusions of someday
casting a golden light
no dress rehearsal,
this is our life
REPEAT INTRO (2 times)
chorus
and that's when the hornet stung me
and I had a feverish dream
with revenge and doubt
tonight we smoke them out
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
REPEAT INTRO (4 times)
Stare in the morning shroud
and then the day began
I tlted your cloud,
you tilted my hand
rain falls in real time
and rain fell through the night
no dress rehearsal,
this is our life
REPEAT INTRO
and that's when the hornet stung me
and I had a feverish dream
with revenge and doubt
tonight we smoke them out
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
and disappointing you's gettin' me down
REPEAT INTRO 5 TIMES
