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.
