Cupid`s got A Brand New Gun -- Michael Penn

Transcribed by MH and RF from the album March.

The song is in the key of Cm although I suspect that it might be easier
to play with a capo on 2 and using Bm etc shapes. The song is in 6/8 time.

I`ve mostly only put chords but there are a few lines marked with
asterisks that have TAB tips at the end of the file.

VERSE 1:
Cm A
It`s hiding in the corner
Cm A
of every sacred place
Cm A B
before the ambush you won`t want to
E A E E/B A **
recognise its face
Cm A
It slithers like a viper
Cm A
readies its attack
Cm A B
tears your flesh and soul apart then
E A E E/B A
clings on to your back
A G7/C ***
not till it turns away can you
Cm Cm/B
feel the pain of all the damage done
A G7/C Cm
and you may notice that this quick opiate
Cm/B A
might wear the wings of angels
G7/C Cm E . A B E . . ****
that`s when you realise you`ve been shot down
Fm E/G A Fm E B *****
wounded unto death by something called
Cm A Cm A Cm A B E A
love (____________instrumental__________________)

VERSE 2:
Cm Fm
It followed you to hell, Ange
Cm A
a double-agent who
Cm A B
will listen to your every lie
E A
and never tell on you
E A
just whisper to you true
Cm A7
promises you silk things
Cm A
but burns the clothes you wear
Cm A B
gives you leave in heaven
E A
and you scream that it`s unfair
E A
to force you to compare
A G7/C
but not till it turns away
Cm
can you feel the pain of
Cm/B
all the damage done
A G7/C
and you may notice that
Cm
this quick opiate
Cm/B A
might wear the wings of angels
G7/C Cm E . A B E . .
that`s when you realise you`ve been shot down
Fm E/G A Fm E B Cm
wounded unto death by something called love
Cm Cm E . A B E . .
you`ve been shot down
Fm E/G A Fm E B E
wounded unto death by something called love...
