-love cuts the strings is a damn hard song to strum.  i can't play it with the
+tabbed by Kevin Ricker and Rosa
-correct strum, but i can give a little bit of the intensity by correctly
-doing the guitar part that comes after every verse.
-the chords are G,C,D, and  a fucked up F thing that looks like this
+listen to the song for the rhythm of the riff
-                        E A D G B E
-			| | | | | | 1st fret
-			| | | 1 | | 2nd fret
-			| | 2   3 4 3rd fret
-that is also the kind of C you should play (i.e.)
+G:      320033
-			E A D G B E
+Cadd9:  x32033
-			| | | | | |
+F6add2: xx3233
-			| | 1 | | |
+D:      xx0232

-so all you have to do on the verse is move your 1&2 fingers
-the song goes
+G Cadd9 F6add2 Cadd9 G x4
-G                                    C                G C F C F C G
+G                                    Cadd9                G Cadd9 F6add2 Cadd9 G
 the first thing that happened was the river overflowed
-{that is not as hard as it looks. just run between the F and the C in any
+The water running through the street was sweet and cold
-combination, as long as you get back to the G in time to start the next
+I knelt by the water like a doe by a stream
-verse.}
+Punch-drunk snow-blind as if the whole thing were a bad dream
-all the verses are like the first
+         D  Cadd9                    G Cadd9 F6add2 Cadd9 G
+And then love called out the heavy artillery
+Kypris took the horses by the bit for the morning ride
+I'd count my blessings but you can only be expected to count so high
+When love cuts the strings
+I smeared my self with pennyroyal to keep the hounds at bay
+And you poked your head out from an alley half a block away
+And I recognized you though I'm not sure how
+G                                Cadd9                 G
+And the air turned red around you as a dull chill came down over me
+And then love summoned up the infantry
+And the green-eyed goddess got ready for all out war
+I'd count my blessings but I don't even know what the word "blessing" means
+When love cuts the strings
+Yeah!
+G Cadd9 F6add2 Cadd9 G x4
-D        C                    G  C F C F C G
