tab=Our Lady Peace : Are You Sad?

#7 on Spiritual Machines (2000)
music and lyrics by Raine Maida

tune down 1/2 step

the timing can be tough in this song.  you'll probably have to listen
to the cd to get a sense of it.  i found that concentrating on the bass
helps, since the rhythm guitar is low in the mix.
at the end, i typed two lines of lyrics.  that's where the vocal
layering is, so don't get confused.  :)
the guitar sounds pretty low in the verses.  try concentrating on
strumming the lower end strings, and hit the B and high E strings
seldom or not at all.
