THE SWORD AND THE PEN by Regina Spektor (from What We Saw from the Cheap Seats) I managed to find a piano score sheet on this while on the internet and I noticed that it mainly plays chords for its right hand so I transcribed it to guitar chords. In the score, the chords have real different voicings, so the chords here have a lot of different bass notes. If you find it hard playing different voicings, you could just play it using the basic root position of the chords. RESPEKT! [VERSE 1]

^Cm Don't let me ^Fm/Cout of this kiss ^Fdim/B Don't let me ^Cmsay what I say The things that ^Fm/Abscare us today ^Bbadd2 what if they ^Eb/Ghappen som^Eb/Bbeday ^Cm Don't let me ^Ab/Cout of your arms For ^G7now

[VERSE 2]
