Blow At High Dough by Tragically Hip
Blow At High Dough
[B5]They shot a movie once in my home town
[A]Every body was in it [B5]from miles around
[B5]Out at the speedway some kinda Elvis thing
[A]Well I ain't no movie star [B5]but I can get behind anything
[A]But I can get behind anything.
[B5]Get it out get it all out
Yeah stretch that thing
[A]Make it last make it all last
[B5]At least until the supper bell rings
Well the taxi driver like his rhythm never like the stops
[A]Throes of passion throes of passion
[B5]When something just threw him off
[E]Sometimes the faster it gets
The less you need to know
[F#]But you gotta remember
The smarter it gets the further it's going to go
[B5]When you blow at high dough
When you blow at high dough
[B5]Whoa baby I feel fine
I'm pretty sure it's genuine
[A]It makes no sense how it makes no sense
[B5]But I'll take it free any time
Whoever fits her usually gets her
It was the strangest thing
[A]How she moved so fast , moved so fast
[B5]Into that wedding ring
[CHORUS]
[B5]Out at the speedway, same Elvis thing
[A]Well I can't catch her , [B5]but I can get behind anything
[A]Well I can get behind anything
[CHORUS]
[B5]Out at the speedway, same Elvis thing
when you hear the B5 you can hear it slide, to reproduce this, pull of and hammer on the
(5th string, 2nd frett) whenever you hear the slide.

E|-x-| You know the part where Gord is kinda talkin to himself
B|-3-| "How do I explain this, how do I put it into words,
G|-4-| It's one thing or another but it's neither this nor that"
D|-2-| Well this is the chord that is wailing away behind it.
A|-x-| And if this ain't it then slide it up a fret or two
E|-x-| Like I said, I don't have my guitar here but I'm pretty sure
that the shape of the chord is right.
From: CLINTON D
Rod,
I was just looking at what you sent me on Blow At High Dough and
I don't understand what part it is. Is it the beginning rhythm? I
know the Intro and I think it goes like this:
E--------I-----------I--------I--------I
B--12----I---(12)----I--(12)--I--(12)--I
G--------I-----------I--------I--------I
D--------I-----------I--------I--------I
A--------I-----------I--------I--------I
E--------I-----------I--------I--------I
This is the part where I think the base is playing just before the
words start. Repeat this first part once more while the lyrics are
beginning.
>
> Actually the part that I tabbed above *is* the bass part. :)

Next the second guitar comes in and plays something like this:
Everybody was.. For miles.. Out at..
E-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I
B---2---I------(2)-----I---2/4----I--(4)----I-4---2/4--I--(4)--I
G-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I
D-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I
A-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I
E-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I
Some kind.. Well I ain't no movie star..
E----------I--------I--------I--------------------------I
B--4--2/4--I--(4)---I---8/7--I--(7)----------9-------11-I
G----------I--------I--------I--------------------------I
D----------I--------I--------I--------------------------I
A----------I--------I--------I--------------------------I
E----------I--------I--------I--------------------------I

E--(11)---I--------I----------I
B---------I--------I----------I
G---------I---2----I--(2)-----I
D---------I---2----I--(2)-----I

I THINK THE MAIN RHYTHM GOES AS FOLLOWS
