"New Dawn Fades" by Joy Division (from the album "Unknown Pleasures")
=====================================================================

This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands.
This is the main part repeated all over the song but with slight
changes like the timing, is never the same. 
Peter Hooks never played this bass with the same timing twice, there's a
little of improvisation in it. Just play the intro like this and then
play the same figure trying to change the timing a little. 
Just repeat the first part to the end.

   Main figure:
 G:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 D:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 A:--7---7---7-7-7--7-7--7-7-0-5----5-5-5--5--5-5-0--3--3--3--3-3-3-3-3-3--3-3-3--
 E:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 G:----------------------------------
 D:----------------------------------
 A:--0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0----
 E:----------------------------------


This is an example of the variations of the timing and improvisations
like the D at the end of the figure like Peter Hook used to do:

 G:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 D:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 A:--7--7-7-7--7-7--7-7--7-7-7-0-5--5-5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5-5-0-3--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3--3-3-3--
 E:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 G:---------------------------------
 D:---------------------------------
 A:--0--0--0--0-0-5--5-5-5-5-5-5----
 E:---------------------------------


   Repeat this figure from the middle of the last solo to the end:
 G:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 D:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 A:--7---7---7-7-7--7-7--7-7-0-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5--5-5-0--3--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3--3-3-3--
 E:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 G:----------------12-12--11-11--9-9--7-7----
 D:----------------0- 0-- 0- 0-- 0-0--0-0----
 A:--0--0-0-0--0-0---------------------------
 E:------------------------------------------


   And this is the end of the song:
G:--12-12--11-11--9-9--7-7---- G:--12-12--11-11--9-9--7-7-7----||
D:--0- 0-- 0- 0-- 0-0--0-0---- D:---0- 0-- 0- 0--0-0--0-0-0----|| Repeat 7 Times     

and then: -->
D:--0- 0-- 0- 0--0-0--0-0-0----||
A:----------------------------    

   Enjoy!
