+ Info...
54•40 is a Canadian alternative rock group from Vancouver, British Columbia, whose literate and melodic music is frequently compared to that of R.E.M. The band takes their name from the slogan "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight," coined to express the expansionist agenda of James K. Polk's presidency, intent upon controling a contested U.S.-Canada border area. The group formed in 1981 as a trio consisting of Brad Merritt (bass), Ian Franey(drums), and Neil Osborne (vocals). In 1983, Phil Comparelli was added on guitar and vocals, and Franey was replaced by Darryl Neudorf.

...or something like that. The rhytm for the chorus is different,
but basically the entire song is based on those 3 chords (punk!).
The bridge in the middle is the bass sliding between the root
notes (E-11-11-11/6-6-6/4-4-4\11-11-11) while the guitar picks
the 3 magic chords. Thats it, enjoy!
