Hey all,

Saw in a previous thread a link about Hip cover tunes a year or so back. One is Neil Young's classic "Powderfinger".

Just saw Neil play in Vancouver and he played the tune, 4th or 5th song of the night... while Neil was playing I couldn't help but think how much it reminded me of "Nautical Disaster" in its, among other things, water imagery, sense of foreboding and structure (or lack therof - no chorus).

Anyways, there is a show the Hip did in Regina, January 19, 07 and I can't seem to find a recording of that song. Would love to hear how the Hip pulled it off.

Aside from that, I suggest everyone give Powderfinger and N.D. a listen back-to-back and tell me if I'm crazy (or not).

I've never heard a fan-recorded version from that show, but MAv made that cover thehip.com SOTD a while ago. It was good. Maybe if you're lucky he'll cue it up in the rotation again sometime soon.

Anyone else?

Am I nuts?

Neil Young- Powderfinger

G C G C G
Look out, Ma, there's a white boat comin' up the river
C G C G
With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail
C
I think you'ld better call John
Bm C
'cause it don't look like they're here to de liver the mail
Bm7 Cm7
And it's less than a mile a way
Bm7 Cm7
I hope they hope they didn't come to stay
Bm7 Cm7
It's got numbers on the side and a gun
D
and it's makin' big waves

The Tragically Hip - Nautical Disaster

Em-D-G-D-Em-D-C-D

Em D G
I had this dream where I relished the f ray
D Em D C D
and the screaming filled my head all day.
Em D G
It was as though I'd been spit here, settled in,
D Em D C
into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket,
D Em D
off the coast of France, dear.
G D Em D
One after noon, four thousand men died in the water here
C D Em D G
and five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might
D Em D C D
in your blood.

It was recorded, I just haven't gotten around to getting it on computer. 2 kids slowed things right down for me. I still record but now it goes into a box on a shelf. Maybe I'll try and get to it this weekend.

Try playing Long time Running and REM's Strange Currencies back to back.
