"Colony" by Joy Division (from the album "Closer") ================================================== Transcribed by: Andrew Tyler (Cytospasm@yahoo.com) Webpage: Http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/venue/5083/ I have to give credit to the Shadowplay website for the lyrics : http://www.warren.org.uk/music/joyd_home.html AUTHORS NOTE : This was tabbed in the key of F so that it can be played along with the Closer version in normal tuning. If you find it too difficult, you can use a capo on the first fret or tune up half a step and play it half a step lower (which is much easier.) Just drop every chord half a step. e.g. (-0-3-5-0-3-5-0-3-5-0-3-0) Intro: ---------3------- XXXXX----3------- XXXXX----1------- twice ---------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------4-4-4-4------6---- ----------------------------------3-3-3-3------5---- -6--5-----5--6-----3--------------1-1-1-1------3---- -6--5-----5--6-----3-------------------------------- -4--3-----3--4-----1-------------------------------- The rythym is not hard if you listen to the song. Verse 1: ------------------------3---- ----1-----1-----1-------3---- 1-4---1-4---1-4---1-4---1---- A cry for help, a hint of anaesthesia The sound from broken homes - we used to always meet here As he lays asleep she takes him in her arms Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm ------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------4-4-4-4------6------ ----------------------------------3-3-3-3------5------ -6--5-----5--6-----3--------------1-1-1-1------3------ -6--5-----5--6-----3---------------------------------- -4--3-----3--4-----1---------------------------------- Verse 2: ------------------------3---- ----1-----1-----1-------3---- 1-4---1-4---1-4---1-4---1---- A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye Hands him the bag she packed - a tear she tries to hide A cruel wind that howls down to our lunacy And leaves him standing cold here in this colony ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5---3---5-------------3----------------------------5---3---5--------------3-- 5---3---5--x---6------3----------------------------5---3---5--x---6-------3-- 3---1---3--x---6------1------3---1-----------------3---1---3--x---6-------1-- ---------------4----------------------4----1----------------------4---------- ---------------- -----4------6--- -----3------5--- -----1------3--- ---------------- ---------------- Verse 3: {with bass doing the normal verse riff} -------------------------------------------------------- --8-------6--------4-------6------------------------------- --7-------5--------3-------5--------------------------------- --5-------3--------1-------3-------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ I can't see why all these confrontations I can't see why all these dislocations No family life - this makes me feel uneasy Stood alone here in this colony In this colony -- ------------------------3---- ----1-----1-----1-------3---- 1-4---1-4---1-4---1-4---1---- God in his wisdom took you by the hand God in his wisdom made you understand -- In this colony ------------------------- 6-6-6-4-6-6-6-4-6-6-4-6-- 5-5-5-3-5-5-5-3-5-5-3-5-- 3-3-3-1-3-3-3-1-3-3-1-3-- ------------------------- ------------------------- God and his wisdom (continues) Outro: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5---3---5-------------3---------------------------5---3---5--------------3-- 5---3---5--x---6------3---------------------------5---3---5--x---6-------3-- 3---1---3--x---6------1------3---1----------------3---1---3--x---6-------1-- ---------------4----------------------4----1---------------------4---------- -------------- ---4------6--- ---3------5--- ---1------3--- -------------- -------------- ----------------------------------------------------- --8-------6--------4-------6----------------4-----6-- --7-------5--------3-------5----------------3-----5-- --5-------3--------1-------3----------------1-----3-- ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- |
