This is my first attempt at tabbing something out.
A friend and I figured most of this out watching New Order playing
live. Any corrections are welcomed. I tabbed out the bass part for
a regular guitar. I will tab out Dream Attack
and Regret in the up coming months.

Lyrics (from cs.uwp.edu) with a couple of corrections
------

You'd smile and salute me

If I told a different story

All the sinful wheels are turning

Turning in and turn towards this time


All she asks is when to hold me

Then again the same old story

We traveled oh, so quickly

Travel first to me, towards this time


Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown

Heaven knows it's got to be this time

What she'd heard, these things she said

The time she cried and failed to wait this time


Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown

Heaven knows it's got to be this time

Avenues, all lined with trees

Picture me and then you start watching


Watching forever

Forever - watching love grow

Forever - letting me know

Forever

Have fun!
