Band: Our Lady Peace
Album: Happiness is Not a Fish You Can Catch
Song Title: Thief
Interpreted chords by: Robbie Sidenberg ; From Toronto, Ontario
Ok, I'm a HUGE fan of Our Lady Peace, and I would have killed myself if I didn't commit myself to watch and tape them on Much Music Intimate and Interactive (what true OLP fan wouldn't?). They happened to play this song amongst the many songs in their set, and I happened to catch the chords that Raine Maida himself played. There's just ONE part that I'm kind of unsure about, and that's part of the bridge, but it sounds fine the way I figured out how to play it too. So anyways, here's Thief.
The only chords really used throughout this entire song are: D, A, E, G, & F#(that's with an F# tuning: down one fret) Besides the part of the bridge I'm not 100% sure of, there's only one more chord in the whole song besides those, but I don't know the name of it.(I do know how to play it though)
TUNE DOWN ONE FRET!!!
