Our Lady Peace : Clumsy

Most chords were figured out by Shawn Severin <no email address>.
Tab and arrangement by Dave D'Uva <dduva@freenet.npiec.on.ca>.
Questions, comments and corrections are welcome.

tune down 1/2 step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

chords used:

A5sus: X02200 AsusaddF#: 202200 A*: X02255
B5sus: X24400 C#5sus: X46600 D: XX0232
E5sus: 022X00 F#: 244XXX G: 320033
G#5: 466XXX (open): 000030

notes:
- I'm not sure what the proper name of the A* chord is.
- I shortened all the "sus" and "5" chord names. So when you see "A" in
the song, it's really A5sus as stated above. I hope this doesn't cause any
confusion, but there just wasn't enough space for the full names.
- (open) obviously isn't a real chord, it just what's played in the bridge.
- The rhythm might be pretty hard to get used to, so listen to the CD.
- In the chorus, throw in some open high E and B strings to make it
sound good.
- The bridge is pretty weird. You can either play the single notes or a
combination of the notes and chords.
- This isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn close. If I made any mistakes,
please let me know!
