Biography:
The Kills is an alternative rock duo formed by American vocalist Alison "VV" Mosshart and British guitarist Jamie "Hotel" Hince that rose to public recognition at the dawn of the hype surrounding the genre's explosion of the early 2000s. Mosshart had been in the Florida punk band Discount and Hince in British rock band Scarfo. When these groups disbanded, the duo, who first met when Mosshart heard Hince practicing in the hotel room above hers, struck up a songwriting partnership.

The Kills, "Hook And Line"
(Midnight Boom, 2008)
NOTE: I did this in D Tuning (i.e. Standard but with every string 1 step down)
because it was easier to play - you can use power chords and just slide up and down
the fret board. Remember that each power chord will be 2 frets higher up on the fret board now,
e.g. a G will start on 5th fret, not 3rd.
G A#
With your hook and line I still blow away (x4)

Keep it quiet, keep it cool

Lipstick letters and souvenirs

Make a mockery of your fears
G A#
With your hook and line I still blow away
G A# C
With your hook and line I still blow away
G A#
With your hook and line I still blow away
G A# C
With your hook and line I still blow away

Try your best to make it matter
G F Eb
Tattoo it in the clouds above you
G F Eb
Mail it down with jealous bolts
G F Eb
'Til it goes like a feather upon its own
G A#
With your hook and line I still blow away

A pawn

A shove

An eerie love

You won't come back
