"The Passion of Lovers"
By: Bauhaus
Words and Music: Bauhaus
From the album "Mask"
This song is very effective (and fun!) when played on an acoutic
twelve-string.
The intro. is a very simple alternation between the open E and D
strings, then fingering the F on the first fret of the E.
Have fun!
Em / G / Em / G
Em G
She had nut painted arms, that were her's to keep
Em G
And in her fear, she sought cracked pleasures.
Em G
The passion of lovers is for death, said she,
Em G
licked her lips, and turned to feather.
Em G
And as I watched from underneath,
Em G
I became aware of all that she'd keep.
Em G
Those little foxes, so safe and sound,
Em G
They were not dead, they'd gone to ground.
Chorus:
C B Em D C
The passion of lovers is for death, said she-----
B Em
The passion of lovers is for death. (repeat)
She breaks her heart just a little too much,
and her jokes attract the lucky, bad type.
And when she dips and whails and slips her banshee smile
She gets the bigger of the better to the letter.
(repeat chorus to end)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BAUHAUS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
