Ahead By A Century Chords
The Tragically Hip
Ahead by a Century
Re-Tabbed by Keith Waterfield
This is an updated version orginally tabbed by Francois Poudrier and Pat SpruceBoy
Grantis
I just added the rest of the lyrics and moved some of the chords around.
I find this version sounds close enough to the album, you may want to add the Dsus
during the verses for a more authentic sound, or just for fun.

this is our life
