DELICATE CUTTERS - Throwing Muses
transcribed by Andrew <wall@newton.otago.ac.nz>
What follows is my attempt at "Delicate Cutters" by the Throwing Muses. When
Kristin Hersh played this on her solo tour of New Zealand this was the song she
ended her performance with - utterly amazing!
D (picked)
It's just the lack of time I keep
G (picked) A (break1)
Reaching Out, lashing at
Break1: D *4

A
It's just the lines run down the walls
D G A
I can't believe they never fall, the walls never leave
A (break2)
And the walls begin to scream
Break2: D *4
G *4

A D
And my toes against the wall, I stare ahead
G A
The door inside the wall, your face inside the door
D
You crawl across the room
G
The picture never moves, my boots are very still
A F7: F7 You slide to my feet
(break2)
You slide across the floor
(D part *4) (G part *4)
I throw your head across the ice
(D part *4) (G part *4)
I throw my head through the window, crash
(A part)
Like ???
A
It's four o'clock, I'm waiting
D G
Your face appears, I keep forgetting your name
A
While I'm writing this, you
(break1) G A
You crash through the wall
(break3 - repeated for the remainder of the song)

(D part *4) (G part *4)
You fall off the floor
(D part *4) (G part *4)
I slide your head across the ice
(D part *4) (G part *4)
I throw my head through the window, crash
(D part *4) (G part *4)
Like gods a room full of delicate cutters
(D part *4) (G part *4)
All sitting down the room, as many doors
(D part *4) (G part *4)
All but one of them are closed
(D part *4) (G part *4)
She goes around, opening the doors
(D part *4) (G part *4)
This has another ending, full of innocent children
(D part *4) (G part *4)
One of them are closed
(D part *4) (G part *4)
She goes around, this has another ending
(D part *4) (G part *4) F7t F7 Remember full of delicate cutters
(D part *4) (G end)
Opening the doors
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 THROWING MUSES 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.
