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.

Formed in Oakville, Ontario in the mid-1970's, Saga was built around the core of the final line-up of the band Fludd. Throughout much of the band's long career, they've enjoyed greater success in Europe than they have in North America. This was true right from their early years; their synth/guitar/electric drums-driven progressive rock style was embraced overseas, while going largely unnoticed in the US. They enjoyed modest success at home in Canada with the singles "It's Time", "See Them Smile", and "Don't Be Late".
It looks like things are getting back to normal here. I was able to re-post the GS tab page, images will upload again, and I'm getting daily stats again. The only thing that still isn't working is that I'm not getting e-mail notices about blog comments. So I just discovered one was left about four days ago that I didn't know about. I'll answer that soon.
