Cuts You Up --Peter Murphy, from the album "Deep"

Everyone who requested anything by Peter Murphy had this one on the list.
I really can't hear any guitar in the song, except a little strumming mixed
really low. When I play the song, I play chords based on the bass line or I
play the strings part.

The bass goes something like this (listen to the cd for the rhythm):
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
-3--3-3--3-5--5-5--5-7--7-7--7-7--7-7---
----------------------------------------
Then the same pattern is played descending for the chorus...

It sounds pretty good to play chords along with the bass like this:
I usually just use clean power chords....

C D
I find you in the morning

E
After dreams of distant signs

C D
You pour yourself over me

E
like the sun through the blinds

Then the chorus goes:

E D
You know the way It throws about

C
It takes you in and spits you out

etc..
This is how the song goes throughout. Now, I like to play that cool
strings part. This sounds right to me:

----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
-0h2/4-7----9p7h9p7h9--4----0--2--0-----
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------
----------------------------12----10--8-
-0h2/4-7----9p7h9p7h9----------12-------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
-0h2/4-7----9p7h9p7h9--4----0--2--0-----
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

--------------------------------
--------------------------------
-0h2/4-7-------4--9--7--4--2--0- "I find you in the morning...."
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
--------------------------------

If anyone knows the treble-y sounding strummed guitar mixed really low, I'd
like to have it. If any of this is wrong, corrections are welcome....
