+ Info...
I Mother Earth, or IME, is a Canadian alternative rock band who found moderate success in the mid-to-late 1990s. After touring for their most successful album, Scenery and Fish, it was announced that lead singer Edwin would leave the band. In interviews, founding brothers Christian and Jagori Tanna claimed that they had always written the music and lyrics themselves, and that Edwin was merely a hired singer. He would go on to be mildly successful as a solo artist. The band itself ended up in bitter disputes with both their label and the band's management, and subsequently broke ties with both.

Used To Be Alright Tab by I Mother Earth
Used To Be Alright
By: Mike Carignan: carignae@cadvision.com
Song: "Used To Be Alright" by "I Mother Earth"
Album: "Scenery And Fish"(1996)
The biggest part of this song after the tablature is the timing of
the chucking that Jagori puts in. Because Jagori and Christian are
brothers, Jagori plays about the same rythm as the drums - obviously
something they picked while jamming a lot. The lead part is actually
octaved - that is he plays it on the note indicated and on the string
and fret an octave higher. It's easier to play it without the octave
added, so I havn't included it. If you have an octaver effects box,
set it to one octave lower and play the section one octave higher and
you'll get the right result.
Once again, if you spot ANY errors, please inform me as soon as possible.
Tuning: From low to high DADGBE (Drop D)
