Chords

The Professor (Live at Cornucopia Café, Dublin) Hello everyone. This is also largely not my tab, but copy pasted and then changed to show the entire song from beginning to end, and from what I've seen Damien himself play live. Note that the French part of the song isn't tabbed as Damien plays it but the chord combination still works. Also note that the G7 chord isn't a G7 chord but a slightly altered one because I couldn't find the right name for it.

For walking on stilts, at the edge of your mind and

Loving is good if your dick's made of wood

Loving is good if it's not understood
