Bauhaus were a rock band formed in 1978 in Northampton, England. The group consisted of Peter Murphy (vocals), Daniel Ash (guitar), Kevin Haskins (drums), and David J (bass). The band was originally named Bauhaus 1919 after the German art movement until they dropped the numerals within a year of formation. They combined a number of influences (punk, glam rock, funk, and dub) to create a very dark but very passionate sound, appealing to many looking for something new after punk.

You play this for the intro, and the verses, but where you see the chords Strum the chords something like down-up-down for each chord!
The young man held a gun to the head of God, Stick this holy cow, Put the audience in action, Let the slaughtered take a bow
F(XIII)/// B(VII)/// F(I)/// B(VII)/// {Repeat until lyrics start up again}
The old mans words, white hot knives Slicing through worm butter The butter is the heart The rancid pealing soul Chords: For the next verse just Strum F(I) twice, pause and repeat.Listen to the album.
Scratch pictures on asylum walls Broken nails and match sticks Hypodermic, hypodermic, hypodermic, red fix
Back to Riff...
One mans poison is another mans meat one mans agony another mans treat Artaud lived with his neck placed properly in the noose Eyes black with pain, limbs in clamps(vamps) contorted The theatre and its double, the void and the aborted
For this outro, I think you alternately strum the B chord and strum deadend strings, whilst the tempo increases...
Those indians wank on his bones... (Repeat until end)
