Inevitability of Death

Inevitability of Death - The Tragically Hip
From DAY FOR NIGHT, 1994

Tabbed by Duncan Koerber 

Nothing fancy here tab wise. The timing really doesn't mean
anything - just makes it look nice. But the general idea is there.

This song is in drop D tuning.

The main riff:
e-------------------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------------------
D-0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--
A-0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--
D-0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--0h4-0h4-0h4--4-4--

End the main riff with either PARTS 1, 2 or 3, when appropriate
                                          (listen to the song)
These parts are used elsewhere, so mix and match
when needed!
