Joy Division
"Love Will Tear Us Apart"

Transcribed by: gaston (dburrus@ix.netcom.com)

Tab for the INTRO to Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
has long been absent from previous postings.
It opens with guitar (bass?*), then progressively over-dubbed
with bass and 12 string acoustic.

The rhythm (and # of notes for each bar) is only approximate.

The "Em", "D", "Dsus4", "D", "Dmaj9", "Bm" and "A"
chords posted previously (for the main body of the song)
are somewhat correct but are only "inferred" chords.
The chords are based on the (mostly) single-note melodies
of the bass and keyboard parts.

*the bass is played in the upper register & top strings
 which sound like the guitar.
