This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Part 2: "Attached Text"

"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!

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!
