Marillion - Hard As Love
========================

Tabbed by Mike C ([email protected])

Tab Explanation
===============

s       Slide
h       Hammer-on
p       Pull-off
T       Tap
B       Bend the note to the fret after the B
R       Release back to the originally bent note
A.H.    Artificial Harmonic
m       Palm Muted
//      Trem Pick (Pick as fast as possible)

To make this song easier to play, I have tabbed all guitars relative to 4th fret
however Steve probably didn't in the studio. It isn't the easiest song to make
out but have fun playing it.

Gtr. 1 - Distorted Electric ***CAPO 4TH FRET***
Gtr. 2 - Distorted Electric ***CAPO 4TH FRET***
Gtr. 3 - Clean Electric (w/Delay) ***CAPO 4TH FRET***
Gtr. 4 - Clean Electric (w/Delay) ***CAPO 4TH FRET***
==============================
***CAPO 4TH FRET***

Well I hear that you were looking out to hunt me down 
And I guess you're used to having everything you want
But you know that love can be as hard as sticks and stones 
I tell you nothing else can be as hard as love can 
Well I hear you got my number and you want my name
I'm a stream of noughts and crosses in your R-A-M
