I switched to bass from guitar about a year ago,

on which I can pretty much only play songs by the Fall

and Joy Division. There is obviously no demand

for JD tabs; there's enough on the OLGA already.

But I noted that there weren't enough Fall tabs,

at least not for the songs I'd figured out.

verse: (I used to play this on the G, but I think that's too high)

G|---------------------------------|

D|---------------------------------|

A|-------3-1-----3-1---------------|

E|--3-3------3-3-----3-3-3-3-3-1---|

repeat that a few times and then sorta jam on the open A

"chorus":

G|------------------------------14--11------------|

D|--------11-11--14-14--11-11----------14-14-14---|

A|--12-12-----------------------------------------|

E|------------------------------------------------| x3

and then: ("One is cursed and one is borne")

G|--11-14--11-------11--14-11-------|

D|-------------14--------------14---|

A|----------------------------------|

E|----------------------------------|

back to verse, then something like this:

G|--------------------------------------------|

D|--------------------------------------------|

A|--------------------------------------------|

E|--3--3-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2--0--0-0--0-0--|

when this passage is repeated again near the end of the song,

it's like this or several variations thereof:

G|----------------------------------|

D|----------------------------------|

A|-------------------2--------------|

E|--3--3-3--3-3--2-3---3-2-0--0-0---| etc.
