Cupid's got A Brand New Gun -- Michael Penn
Transcribed by MH and RF from the album "March".
The song is in the key of C#m although I suspect that it might be easier
to play with a capo on 2 and using Bm etc shapes. The song is in 6/8 time.
I've mostly only put chords but there are a few lines marked with
asterisks that have TAB tips at the end of the file.

VERSE 1:
C#m A
It's hiding in the corner
C#m A
of every sacred place
C#m A B
before the ambush you won't want to
E A E E/B A **
recognise its face
C#m A
It slithers like a viper
C#m A
readies its attack
C#m A B
tears your flesh and soul apart then
E A E E/B A
clings on to your back
A G#7/C ***
not till it turns away can you
C#m C#m/B
feel the pain of all the damage done
A G#7/C C#m
and you may notice that this quick opiate
C#m/B A
might wear the wings of angels
G#7/C C#m E . A B E . . ****
that's when you realise you've been shot down
F#m E/G# A F#m E B *****
wounded unto death by something called
C#m A C#m A C#m A B E A
love (____________instrumental__________________)
VERSE 2:
C#m F#m
It followed you to hell, Ange
C#m A
a double-agent who
C#m A B
will listen to your every lie
E A
and never tell on you
E A
just whisper to you true
C#m A7
promises you silk things
C#m A
but burns the clothes you wear
C#m A B
gives you leave in heaven
E A
and you scream that it's unfair
E A
to force you to compare
A G#7/C
but not till it turns away
C#m
can you feel the pain of
C#m/B
all the damage done
A G#7/C
and you may notice that
C#m
this quick opiate
C#m/B A
might wear the wings of angels
G#7/C C#m E . A B E . .
that's when you realise you've been shot down
F#m E/G# A F#m E B C#m
wounded unto death by something called love
C#m C#m E . A B E . .
you've been shot down
F#m E/G# A F#m E B E
wounded unto death by something called love...
