Love Is Hell

Author/Artist: Ryan Adams
Title: Love is Hell
Transcribed by: Andrew Biles

I’ve combined some of the second guitar’s parts onto the tab just to get more of the
feel.
The outro I haven’t really managed overly well, I can’t work out that rhythm part, so if
know it, feel free to put it in the corrections box.
In the verses, there is a bit of flange and delay added to the sound (that’s what it
like to me anyway).
Standard tuning

Lyrics (www.lyricsdomain.com):

There’s strange weather in the back of the room
And she’s pretty, Jesse’s spinning the tunes
Eyelashes, and some white leather boots
God, what have I been drinking?
I could be serious but I’m just kiddin’ around
I could be anything, anything but sticking around
Love is hell
Love is hell
Love is . . . hell
Is . . .hell

It’s raining, I can see it outside
Funny I’m still in it
Just sitting here with Johnny and Raph’
Untll the room starts spinning
I could be serious but I’m just kiddin’ around
I could be anything, nothing, whatever, oh well
Love is hell
Love is hell
Love is . . . hell
Love is . . . hell
Love is . . . hell
Love is . . . hell
Love is . . . hell
Love is . . . hell
Love is . . . hell
Is . . . hell
