No Oath, No Spell by Murder By Death, murderbydeath.com
From the Album "Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon"
Tabbed by Justin Silliker (axeface@gmail.com)
This tab is based off an acoustic version done for the "Violitionist Sessions." It's off
their upcoming record "Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon" out Sept. 25, 2012 on Bloodshot
Records. They've been playing this song for awhile live and this is as accurate as I can
get it. I'm tossed up about a few of the chords in the song, I don't believe it's
always an Em
throughout and the "F5" is questionable.
Please feel free to submit any revisions or at least submit a corrected version of the
song. But otherwise enjoy!
Standard Tuning
F5 - 224434
Em* "walkdown" - 022000, 022002, 022003
Em C G D
An old crow, spoke to me,
Em C G D
Busted leg, limp down the street
C G F5 Em
Said we're both tied, to our own trees
C Am Em
Cut me loose, cut me loose
Em C G D
Saw the deer before it saw me
Em C G D
It didn't change anything
C G F5 Em
Glassy eyes showed me whats to come
C Am Em
Cut me loose, spare me from this
