NOTES:
1. Although, this TAB is scored with standard chords, the verse lines have morphing chords played with
alternating fingering on Am and D. Where Am = Am11 (up) - Am (down, down); D = D3add4 (up) - D (down, down).
2. If there is an interest, I’ll do my best to TAB the Lead, as it has a distinctive ’NO’ ring?
3. “…09/23/2015: Against all odds, new-wave greats New Order have returned for a 10th studio album
that lives up to the band’s formidable past. From the first notes of shimmering first single “Restless,”
it’s clear we’re dealing with the classic New Order sound, as the band returns to the more electronic
(and current, frankly) sound of their late-’80s and early-’90s work. …”
