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.
