Artist: Anathallo Album: Floating World Song: Cuckoo Spitting Blood [http://www.indieguitartabs.com/bands/anathallo/13_cuckoo_spitting_blood.html] Tabbed by: Nick Boudreau (kakeeman@gmail.com) All of the verses and choruses are the same; just repeat these parts as needed. The only exception is at the very end, but I have that tabbed out as well. I'm almost certain that this is correct, but if anyone has any corrections please email me! Otherwise, enjoy; it's a beautiful song.
