AT THE HUNDREDTH MERIDIAN
THE TRAGICALLY HIP
[Intro]
E D A E
[Verse]
E D
Me debunk an american myth?
A E
And take my life in my hands?
E D
Where the great plains begin
A E
At the hundredth meridian
E D
At the hundredth meridian
A E
Where the great plains begin
E D
Driving down a corduroy road
A E
Weeds standing shoulder high
E D
Ferris wheel is rusting
A E
Off in the distance
[Chorus]
E D
At the hundredth meridian
A E
At the hundredth meridian
E D
At the hundredth meridian
A E
Where the great plains begin
[Verse]
E D
Left alone to get gigantic
A E
Hard, huge and haunted
E D
A generation so much dumber than it’s parents
A E
Came crashing through the window
E D
A raven strains along the line of the road
A E
carrying muddy old skull
E D
The wires whistle their approval
A E
Off down the distance
[Chorus]
E D
At the hundredth meridian (hundredth meridian)
A E
At the hundredth meridian (you’re going to miss me)
E D
At the hundredth meridian (trust me)
A E
Where the great plains begin (at the hundredth meridian)
E D
At the hundredth meridian (at the hundredth meridian)
A E
At the hundredth meridian (you’re going to miss me)
E D
At the hundredth meridian (trust me)
A E
Where the great plains begin
[Verse]
E D
I remember, I remember Buffalo
A E
And I remember Hengelo
E D
It would seem to me
A E
I remember every single fucking thing I know
[Hook]
E D A E
If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me
E D A E
If they bury me some place I don’t want to be
E D A E
You’ll dig me up and transport me, unceremoniously
E D A E
Away from the swollen city breeze, garbage bag trees
E D A E
Whispers of disease and the acts of enormity
E D A E
And lower me slowly and sadly and properly
E D A E
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy
[Outro]
E D
At the hundredth meridian (hundredth meridian)
A E
At the hundredth meridian (you’re going to miss me)
E D
At the hundredth meridian (trust me)
A E
Where the great plains begin (at the hundredth meridian)
E D
At the hundredth meridian (at the hundredth meridian)
A E
At the hundredth meridian (baby, you’re going to miss me)
E D
At the hundredth meridian (trust me)
A E
Where the great plains begin
E D A E
