"Shadowplay" by Joy Division (from the album "unknown Pleasures") ================================================================= Transcribed by: Andrew Tyler (Cytospasm@yahoo.com) Webpage: Http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/venue/5083/ Basic song struture is C D E. This is mostly played by bass with guitar playing the same chords sporadically throughout. The lyrics came from someone else. C D chords are barre chords; E is just played normally. The solos are easy but the timing has to be exact. To the centre of the city where all roads meet looking for you To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank searching for you I was moving through the silence without motion waiting for you In a room with a window in the corner, I found truth 1rst Solo: ----------------------------------------5----2-------------------------------- 0-------3--0---3b--0-----------0----------------5----3---------0---3--0--3b-0- ---------------------------2--------------------------------2----------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- -----0--- --2------ --------- --------- --------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4-4-4-4-3-2-4-3-2-4-3-2-4-3-2---------------4-4-4-4-3-2-4-3-2-4-3-2-4-3-2------- --------------------------------2--2-2-------------------------------------2--2- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more As the assassins all grouped in four lines, Dancing on the floor, And with cold steel odour on their bodies, made a move to connect I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left --There's a small guitar bridge here that goes C, D, high E a few times, C, D and then high E again twice---- I did everything, everything I wanted to I let them use you for their own ends To the centre of the city in night waiting for you waiting for you 2nd Solo: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---0----3--0---3b---0-------0-------------------0---3--0--3b--0------0---- ------------------------2-------4-2-4-2-4-2-----------------------2------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -4--4--2--4--2----4-3-2-4-3-2-4-3-2-4-3-2--- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------4-4-4-4-3-2-4-3-2-4-3-2-4-3-2------------------------------- 2----2------2---------------------------------------------2----2-----2--------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------3-3---3---3--5-5b 5b 5b 5--3-3--0--3-3-0-- 4-4-4--2--4--2--4--2-2--4-4-2--4-----4---4--------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- -3-3-0--3-3-0--3-5b-5b------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Just continue bending the 5 until the end. This should be pretty exact, it's all in getting the timing right, so be sure to listen to the song. The fourth fret on the g string and the open note on the b string are both the same note so swap them however you want to make it easiest for you. |
