Fiddlers Green by Tragically Hip The Tragically Hip: Fiddler's Green tabbed by: Chris Well, this is my first tab, so hopefully it’s not too bad. This song seems as if it might be in a different tuning but I’m not sure as to which tuning. Having someone play just strummed chords behind the picking parts would sound good. Enjoy. P.S. the harmonics at the end of the bridge was a guessing game. The different tuning would probably make it easier. Listen to song for timing.
