tabbed by jjhand
If you look at the Baritone part, most of it can be played on normal
guitars if some chords are played in a higher position. Its a great
song, so please rate or comment so I can do the best job on it.

And make a bomb of love and blow it up"

Dave:
"All you people are the skewers of our dreams
Like the cat that collared me"
Boyd (violin player):
"Oh, what I gotta say to you
You got love
Don’t turn it down
Turn it loud
Let it build
We got a long way to go
But you, ya gotta start somewhere"
Dave:
"Go door to door, spread the love you got
You got the love, You get what you want.
Does it matter where you get it from?
I for one don’t turn my cheek for anyone
Unturn your cheek to give your love
Love to grow"
