Song: When the Body Speaks

Artist: Depeche Mode

Album: Exciter

By: Martin Gore

Transcribed by: Nat Hostetler (ultimavatar@yahoo.com)

This is a very pretty and very sad song.

I have always felt like Martin can read my mind as he

writes songs like "I want you now"and such, and here's

another one. I know exactly what he's talking about.

I have no Idea if this is right, but it sound pretty

close. If anybody could help, that would be great. I

especially had trouble with the chorus chords. This is

my first time transcribing something.

****UPDATE****

Someone emailed me and helped out with the chords. In

sheer stupitidy, I accidentally deleted the email, and

so our masked hero will remain nameless.

The song starts out with some kind off synth bass line

that carries

out through the whole song pretty much and a strings

section.

Then he starts singing and the guitar kicks in right

away
