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.

It followed you to hell, Ange

a double-agent who

will listen to your every lie

and never tell on you

just whisper to you true
Cm A7
promises you silk things
