The Flag Tab

The Flag by the Barenaked Ladies   Well, here it is.  My first transcription submission.  I figured I was close.   You'll find that the chords and notes are all right on the money.   The only curve ball may be the Bb/D chord, which is the only uncommon   chord not represent in tab (see the below chart).  Naturally, you will have to supplement my transcription with some emulation by ear.

  Kudos to Carrie Mitnick for turning me on to the Barenaked Ladies.         -The Dins   Here's the only cord that needs explanation:    Bb/D   EADGBE   xx0331       Intro:   Riff A: E--1---1-------1-------|-------8----8-------7--7---| B--3-----3--------3----|------10---10-------8--8---| G--2-------0h2---------|xx----10---10--xx---9--9---| D--0--0-0-----0--0-----|xx--0----------xx-0--------| A----------------------|---------------------------| E----------------------|---------------------------|   Repeat 3X   Verse1:   Dm                        G The phone    . . .        it's 7 o'clock.  F                 C sorry . . .       but I just                        Dm                G    last night  . . .   when I tried                        F                    C mean it   . . . .   it was only           Bridge:   (C)      Dm C     G You . . .  know that . . .        F       C        Dm when . . .checkered ...  comes down.   Chorus:   Bb/D              Am             Dm (into Riff A) No one, . . .  no one . . . . the race   (Verse 2 folows same chord pattern as 1st verse.)
