Lover From Hell (lyrics by Steven Sater, Music by Duncan 
Sheik)

>From a live Radio performance on Ground Zero (unreleased as 
of September 2005)
 
Transcribed by Jeroen Ashton from a live acoustic radio 
performance on Ground Zero. Chords by Jeroen Ashton and 
Daniel Jacob Horine. All our own work.
 
Standard tuning

Capo 3

These are the chords you will need:

Am		x-0-2-2-1-0
E		0-2-2-1-0-0
C		0-3-2-0-1-0
Dm		x-0-0-2-3-1
G		3-2-0-0-0-3
F		1-3-3-2-1-1
B#6/9*		x-0-2-5-3-x
Dm7*		x-0-3-5-3-x
D7*		x-0-4-5-3-x

*In the progression between chorus and a new verse (and the 
ending as well), the e string is actually 0 for the actual 
chord, but Duncan plays only the 4 middle strings. I 
suspect he might play only these 4 strings with other 
chords in the song as well, but haven't listened closely 
enough.

Am	    E   Am
Once, it... everything
         E  C  E
Once, it... song
Dm         Am     G  E
And you pretended... be
    F  G  Dm  F    G
But somehow... you knew.

(Verse 2 identical to verse 1)

           C E   Am
When it was... so fine
          E      F
Swilling her... holy wine
          G E Am G  F
You'd kiss... more, more...
        Dm  G       B#6/9 Dm7 D7 Dm7
More of the... from hell.

(Verses 3 & 4 identical to verse 1)

           C E   Am
When it was... so fine
          E      F
Swilling her... holy wine
          C E Am
Sipping it... yes
	    E  F	
Her tears... a caress
          G E Am G  F
You'd kiss... more, more...
        Dm  G       B#6/9 Dm7 D7 Dm7
More of the... from hell.

             B#6/9 Dm7 D7 Dm7
She'd whisper... with me..."
		    Am
My lover from hell.
