As I Wind Down The Pines Tab - das_hips - 01-17-2006

This is my attempt at the 'Pines' Tab...
I transcribed it by completely muting the left channel, so the small differences that occur in the left channel (usually variations of the right channel, but an octave higher) are not present in this tab...

I know for certain there are corrections, and if anybody can transcribe the incorrect parts (most noticeably, the area marked 'The Tricky Pattern'), please post them...

Code:
As I Wind Down The Pines by The Tragically Hip
From The Album Music @ Work
Tabbed by Mike Curran (das_hips@hotmail.com)

This song holds some whacky time changes, predominantly 9/4 and 7/4
I tune the B string up two steps to a C#... this is transcribed from the right channel


Intro/Verse Pattern

   F#                E

Vocals Enter
          As I wind down the pines
     F#                      E
          it's the lines on your face
     F#
          playing on your face
           E
          Without thinking so much
     F#
          as abandoning thought
                  E





'Bridge' Pattern

E-----0------0----------------
C#---3-3-----3----------------
G---2--------2----------------  <- This isn't entirely accurate, but just pluck
D------2-2-2-2----------------      and you'll find a resemblance
A---0-----0-0-----------------
E-----------------------------

          I went through open country
          over water meadows streams
          lakes and wires and roosts in reeds
          to a nest in the hole of
          this dead...


'Bridge 2'/Outro Pattern

E-------------------------9--
B---7---7---7-7---7---7---X--
G-----6---6-----6---6---6-6--

The 'Tricky Part' Pattern... as in this is my best take on it

E------------------------------------------------------------
C#---0-------0------0-------0------0-----0------0------0-----
G-----4-------4------4-------4------4-----4------4------4----  X 2
D---4--4--4-4------2--2--2-2------6--6-6-------4--4-4-4------
A--2----2--2------0----0--0----------------------------------
E--------------------------------4----4-4-----2------2-------
   B                A                 G#             F#


      To play without stopping or pause
      not for silence not for applause

      not without thinking
      and thinking's abandoning thought

Play one 7/4 bar of the 'bridge' pattern, and then
Back To Verse Pattern

F#-E-F#-E

          As I wind down the pines
    F#                       E
          it's the lines on your face
                   Outro Pattern

wow that tuning is..interesting. I wonder why they would tune like that? Or how they even found that tuning haha. Is that the same tuning as Boots or Hearts?
Good job though, I like that we are filling in the missing or incomplete tunes
