Arrangement: Intro: |Riff 1A|Riff1A| Verse 1: |Riff 1A| The telephone is ringing Disconnect the line |Riff 1A| The tension, oh it's building But I'm alright, yeah I'm alright |Riff 1B| The stars are colliding So you might as well, oh you might as well... Pre Chorus: |Riff 2|Riff2| Let me go |Riff 1A|Riff 1A| Verse 2: |Riff 1A| The television is burning Because I set it on fire |Riff 1B| The wheels they keep turning But I'm fine Yeah I'm fine Pre Chorus: |Riff 2|Riff 2| What about the questions we have Locked up inside Chorus: |Riff 3|Riff 3|Riff 3| Somewhere, Somehow, We've been Denied Hand in Hand, we walk behind Pretending, Defending while our souls are tied |Riff 1A| Verse 3: |Riff 1A| It's only the third hour My conscience subsides |Riff 1B| But, something Reminds me that you lied yeah you lied Pre Chorus: |Riff 2|Riff2| What about the consequences? This can't be right.

Somewhere, somehow, somewhere, somehow, Repeat Chorus: |Riff 3|Riff 3|Riff 3| Outro/Repeat Chorus (w/vocal adlib): |Riff 6A|Riff 6B|Riff 6B|Riff 6B| |Riff 6B|Riff 7| Our Lady Peace "Denied" Performance Notes: This song is pretty basic. The opening lick is a somewhat simple arpeggiated figure that is a bit tough on the timing but, with a little listening to the album, it should be playable in no time at all. I'm not sure if the timing is as accurate as it could be. I don't compose music for orchestras but, I do know a bit about timing, etc. I'm just hoping that it's right. When playing Riff: 2, try and play it as "fluidly" as possible. If you listen to Mike's playing on the album, he plays it a great deal of finesse. So keep that in mind performing that particular riff. Riffs 3, 6A and 6B are all pretty much similar but, with a slight variation in each. The guitar solo is a bit tough. Mike doesn't play a guitar a whammy bar to my knowledge (at least not live) so get your fingers warmed up for some serious vibrato! Riff: 4B has major vibrato in it. I must give credit to Mark Wiebe ([email protected]) for his transcription of "Denied". He had recently posted his version to OLGA as I was in the middle of mine. I used his solo for a bit of inspiration and borrowed a couple of notes from it for my transcription. The outro solo is a bit buried in the mix. Hopefully, someday I can figure that out and I'll be able to post it. The last lick in the song is basically in free time and it's a distorted and contorted version of the opening riff. Listen to the song for more details. Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions or comments at [email protected]. Enjoy!!!
