New Order - Ceremony tab

Subject: TAB: "Ceremony" New Order/Joy Division

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!
