**Gtr#2** (electric with mostly slide)
Most of this guitar part is improvised but if you wanna play it just like
the record you can. But im only tabbing the obvious parts. Try fading in
alot to get the right effect. I use a volume pedal and a light distortion
and it sounds just right.

Intro: (slide all)
D#:--///fade in///2----------------------------------------
A#:------------------8\7\5\3------------2/3\2~-2/3\2/3\2~--
F#:--------------------------2~-2/4\2~---------------------

2nd time verse is played
D#:-----------------------------------------------
A#:-----2h3-33-2-----2h3-33-5---8\7\5\3-----------
F#:-----2-2-22-2-----2-2-22-2------------2-2/4\2--
C#:--0------------0-------------------------------

Most of the end is the same and then he starts to play along with the
acoustic near the very end. Thats it! Enjoy.


"Are You Sad", by Our Lady Peace
By Dimitry Krementsov

This is just an addition to the previously posted tab.  The previously
posted tab is very good, but I play it a little different.  On the four low
strings I basically play the same chord shapes as in the previous tab, but
the two highest strings(B and E) I tune to A and D, resulting in DADGAD
tuning (low to high), and I play these strings open along with some of the
the chords voiced on the low strings.  Try it for yourself, see which chords
it works with.

P.S. Everything I said above should actually be 1/2 step down to play along
with the album, but you guys already knew that.
