Use It Up Tab? - IMissMyLungBob - 03-06-2006

I noticed that the website <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tabs.hipfans.com">www.tabs.hipfans.com</a><!-- w --> does not have a Use It Up guitar tab and i was wondering if anyone knew how to play it?

A little hard to read, but heres my take:

Code:
Use It Up by The Tragically Hip
From the album In Violet Light
Tabbed by Mike Curran (das_hips@hotmail.com)

Guitar One - Rhythm
Guitar Two - Lead

Intro and Verse

Guitar One
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------------------
G-----------1--------------------------------------------------------------
D--2-2--2h4-------------2-2------2-4------2-2------4-2-----------2-4-2-----
A--2-2------------------2-2----2----------2-2----2-------------2-------2---
E--0-0------------------0-0---------------0-0------------------0-----------

Guitar Two
E------------0-4----4-----------0-2----2-----------0---0--0------0-2-0-----
B-----------0---3p0--3p0-------0---3p0--3p0------0----0---0----0-------0---
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use it up
Use it all up
Don't save a thing for later


Chorus

Guitar One
E---------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------
G-----6-4-6------6-4-4--2-2-22--1-------
D-4-4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-4--2-2-22--2--22-2-
A-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--0-0-00-----22-2-
E----------------------------------00-0-
  B                     A          E

Guitar Two plays power chords right along with Guitar One, except for the little fill
during the 'A' chord, which is


B----------------------
G--------------1-------
D----------2-4----2----
A--(0)-2-4--------2----
E-----------------0----

      if there's music out there laying in wait
B                                                A  E  
      to pounce and drain every ounce if you wait or hesitate
B                                            A                E                        
      and music that'll help you be tough
B                                          A  E
      and come together on more than Springsteen though most days it's been enough
B                                                        A                   E

Post-Chorus

Guitar One

E---------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------------
G-------6-4-6------6-4-4-------------9-----9-----9-----9--
D---4-4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-------------9-----9-----9-----9--
A---2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-------------7-----7-----7-----7--
E---------------------------------------------------------
    B                                E

Guitar Two alternates between these two fills while Guitar One plays the E

E--4-0----------2--2-2-0------
B------4-4-5------------------
G-----------------------------
D-----------------------------
A-----------------------------
E-----------------------------

Then there's music that can take you away
B                                    E
away
E
away
E
away
E

Verse Two - Essentially the same as Verse One, a little more activity from Guitar One
on the higher strings

So use it up
Use it all up
Don't save a thing for later
Use it up
Use it all up
Don't save a thing for later


Chorus Two - Same as Chorus Two

if there's music out there staying away
to cry and drain every eye until hatred's eliminated
and music that can help you feel great
and come together in 'the fictive dream' with a kinda Randy Newman take


Post Chorus Two - Same as Post Chorus Two

there's music that can take you away
away
away
away

Bridge - (B-A-G#-A)


Where we can jump to our feet, agape
B                        A
cause nothing is cruel
                    G#
and even if it is or was
               A           B
indefeasibly cruel
        A            G#
we don't care because....
         A

Post Chorus Three

Guitar One
E---------
B----2-0--
G---------
D---2-----
A--2------
E-0-------

Guitar Two alternates between these two fills

E--4-0----------2--2-2-0------
B------4-4-5------------------
G-----------------------------
D-----------------------------
A-----------------------------
E-----------------------------


yer a fool
I'm a fool
yer a fool
and I'm a fool...

Chorus Three - this is similar to Chorus One and Two, but omit the A chord the first two times through

for music that can take you away
for music that can take you away
for music that can take you away
music that can take you away

Outro - Same as Intro

Use it up
Use it all up
Don't save a thing for later

As with most Hip songs, there is too much variation, and on the fly chord alternations to tab the song accurately,
but this is a pretty good start.
