"Cuscutlan" by Frente!
-------------------------------
from Marvin the Album
Simon Austin did this song in particular
tabs done by Kai Bilobran mrkai@ucla.edu
Here's the guitar doodidoo they play in the beginning of Cuscutlan. After
playing this riff 3 times they start playing chords. I don't know how
to figure out chords so if someone could figure the rest of the song
out please send it to me, submit it, just get it out to the world!
by the way, if anyone knows what the word Cuscutlan means please tell me!

E--------------------------------4-4-7--7---456----
play 3 times and then start doing chords I haven't figured out.
This riff also comes up again near the end.
Here are the lyrics:
(female voice)
I love my country but it wears a uniform.
It speaks with foreign* guns, in the background
----(*maybe fallen instead of foreign)
you can almost hear the sound of intervention.
And I don't know when liberty fell
but we rang every mission bell
we rang them loud and clearly to a world that wouldn't listen
CHORUS
(male voice)
and I don't wanna die
I'm as innocent as anybody I don't even know
how to spell revolutionary jesus in the sky
the bullets and the guns, you don't even know what
we mean by repression (last word might be opression)
(male and female duet)
blood is the color of the sunset
you walked into the darkness
i did not hear your last breath
there will not be an inquest
(just girl)
this is not human interest!
END CHORUS
we danced the dirt with surrender for our drumbeat
danced for the balance sheet
died for the kind of lasting peace
that pleases the world's policeman
our/and fatherland raped motherhood
and told her it was for the global good
and now we ring the mission bell to warn their children
CHORUS
play that riff again here and then there's an outro
tada!

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 FRENTE 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.
