I've been working on it lately, it's far from being perfect not too far, i hope.
I'd like to receive some feedback/corrections.

Notes: some of you will surely prefer to shift the whole sequence by a tone
       or two.

       the chords are based on very simple tabs found for the song's riffs,
       which i don't post now.

The Chords:

        eBGDAE
Amaj7   012100
E       001220
F#      22344X or 223442 (full barre')
Nochord 11344X or 113441
F#maj7  12344X or 123441
B       2444XX or 244422
C#      4666XX or 466644
A#      66788X or 667886

Notes: It's easiest to play with capo on fret #1, but then the Amaj7-E sequence
       is disabled (either find new fingerings for them or let them be shifted
       to their corresponding #s [which is weaker])
       The full barre' versions of the chords are preferable, imo.

       Full lyrics available at either ftp.uwp.edu or ftp.maths.tcd.ie

There are two main chord riffs:


F#   F#    Nochord  F#maj7  F# F# Nochord F#maj7
I've heard them     all,    no mercy      shown

B  B   B     B  B   B  B  C#   A#
Heaven knows it has to be this time

(repeat)
--

(which is also applicable to the NO intro, that is play it before the 1st verse,
 figuring the rhythm for yourselves)

Amaj7       E
Watching Forever

(i think it's better to play notes while singing this, the chords suit the intro
 better)
--

That's as far as i got now. Again, i'd love to get feedback on it, as i fear
 there is room for corrections.

P.S. oh, almost forgot... A BONUS TRACK!!!

     By complete coincidence, i found yesterday the rhythm chords for "Walked in
     Line" - very simple progression-regression (with standard barre' chords):

     F G A G F

     Again, figure out the rhythm alone (long durations on the Fs and As, very
      short on the G)

     Have fun!

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture James Average	#1 by James Davison at Feb 27, 1970 at 3:27 AM EST
	firstly, i think this song is about reunions, seeing people you havent seen in a really long time.... the 1st verse brings up the fact that whenever you meet people you havent seen in awhile, there are different stories, but in the end its all just the same, its as though not many people seem to change.. "notice whom for wheels are turning"

No Picture Kyle Average	#2 by Kyle Bish at Jan 15, 1974 at 9:40 AM EST
	I think it's about how he percieves social situations. also i think it's showing how fake most people are to him like the "same old story." It could be about living in an upper-class lifestyle and just having to see the same people over and over and hearing the same things over and over and never being happy with your life.

	Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown Heaven knows, it's got to be this time Watching her, these things she said The times she cried Too frail to wake 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 that sounds like a funeral

	This song is one of those songs that should have everything around it ignored and simply just admire the beauty of it. Best recording of this tune. The original semi-recording just took too much away. It doesn't matter Ian is not singing, Bernard & New Order perfectly presented the song and the original vibe and mood was left intact. To me, this song is simply a love song to/about his girlfriend, but really, who knows for sure, it could have multiple meanings. Perhaps how the negativity is killing her?

	Suicide mixed with revenge

	i based my old band of 5 years entirely on this song/version from substance. We once played a show and someone said we sounded like this song. almost brought a tear to my eye....think it's about his daughter actually...just imagine what the last joy division album could have been....
