Bass for Springtime in Vienna
The Tragically Hip
Trouble at the Henhouse

This is my favourite track on this great album (probably their best).
It is pretty easy to play.  I'm also pretty sure the notes are 
100% right.  As an added bonus, I've added the lead guitar part.
I'm sure it's wrong but it sounds good.  I'm not a very good guitarist.

No Picture Simon Average	#1 by Simon Donovan at Aug 3, 1978 at 8:05 AM EST
	Gord Downie has said that this song was inspired by a couple that was fighting outside a house beside the house the band was staying in while recording "Day for Night" in New Orleans. Gord Sinclair facetiously said "I guess it's springtime in Vienna" while watching this couple tear each other's heads off. Downie decided to elaborate on that paradox by writing about the the Nazi's invading Austria in the spring. The most beautiful time of the year, in one of the most beautiful places in the world is the backdrop for a violent invasion. This is an example of "surviving our paradoxes".

	The title of this song is the only thing that even remotely hints at what it's about. Given this, i think its about what it would be like having to hide out in your home country (Austria) during WWII because of what you believe in, and how they had to keep their lives a secret, and they would have to have people on the outside helping them survive. This song could generally be about having to rely on the support of others.
