Topic: New Tab Postings
I guess you're just asking for it when you think a tab is going to be quick and easy.
This one took a lot longer than expected. Okay, there were some distractions along the way, but the tab itself still took awhile. Originally, I was doing this one as a chord chart, then along the way I decided to turn it into a full tab. I thought it might be plenty of work for a song that maybe not a lot of people are too familiar with, but I've always really liked it.
The Northern Pikes were formed in Saskatoon in 1984. They released two albums independently before landing a deal with Virgin Records in 1986. Their major label debut album was Big Blue Sky (1987). It produced two singles, which charted in Canada in the summer and fall of 1987. The first single, "Teenland", reached #29 with the follow-up, "Things I Do For Money", getting to #85. The album achieved Gold status in Canada. Throughout their career, the Pikes charted mostly at home in Canada, but in 1990 they enjoyed international success with the single "She Ain't Pretty". That song made it onto the US Billboard chart, reaching #86, while going Top 10 (#6) in Canada.
