love cuts the strings is damn hard song to strum. i cant play it with the correct strum, but i can give a little bit of the intensity by correctly doing the guitar part that comes after every verse. the chords are G,C,D, and a fucked up F thing that looks like this E A D G B E | | | | | | 1st fret | | | 1 | | 2nd fret | | 2 3 4 3rd fret that is also the kind of C you should play (i.e.) E A D G B E | | | | | | | | 1 | | | | 2 | | 3 4 so all you have to do on the verse is move your 1&2 fingers the song goes G C G C F C F C G the first thing that happened was the river overflowed {that is not as hard as it looks. just run between the F and the C in any combination, as long as you get back to the G in time to start the next verse.} all the verses are like the first D C G C F C F C G then love summoned up the infantry later, ricker
