Murder by Death is an American five-piece indie rock/death country band from Bloomington, Indiana. Their name is derived from the 1976 Robert Moore film of the same name.
Murder by Death released its first studio album (Like the Exorcist, but More Breakdancing) in 2002, and has since released seven more studio albums. The band's current lineup consists of two founding members, Adam Turla and Sarah Balliet. Balliet plays cello for the band, an instrument that has been present consistently throughout the band's evolution.

No Oath, No Spell by Murder By Death, murderbydeath.com From the Album "Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon" Tabbed by Justin Silliker ([email protected])
This tab is based off an acoustic version done for the "Violitionist Sessions." It's off their upcoming record "Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon" out Sept. 25, 2012 on Bloodshot Records. They've been playing this song for awhile live and this is as accurate as I can get it. I'm tossed up about a few of the chords in the song, I don't believe it's always an Em throughout and the "F5" is questionable.
Please feel free to submit any revisions or at least submit a corrected version of the song. But otherwise enjoy!
