Cuts You Up Chords & Tabs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cuts You Up - Peter Murphy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Myself
Email: cpochie92@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard
After checking this against numerous live performance videos and playing
along to the studio version, I'm confident that this is correct. Play clean
or ideally on a twelve-string acoustic.
Violin Riff:
I've tabbed this in the range of the violin, although Mark Thwaite plays
it up an octave live on the guitar.
