Ok.. then be quiet while Ian does his lyrics, and after the verses
do something about the same as above. Repeat this a few times, and
then:
-------------------------------------------
--5^---5----5^-5--5^-5--5--3--3--0-3-0-3-0-
------------------------------------------- Repeat Once...
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
then:
---------------------------
--3-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-3-5-5^-3- Reapeat 3 times (alter the last one
--------------------------- or two slightly)
---------------------------
---------------------------
---------------------------
"/" and "\" are slides, "^" is a bend.
In some if the verses and at the end there are some chords, so you
should beat out some power chords when you play it, but I'm not
sure what they are right now... just listen to it, they are probably
based in the notes of these riffs... There might be an easier
position to play this, but that's how I do it, anyway. let us know
if any of it is incorrect...

Radio -- live transmission -- radio
live transmission
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes dark, relentless, frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left a blind destruction,
Waiting for our sign
We would go on as though nothing was wrong
Hide from these days to remain all alone
Staying in the same place,
just staring at the tide
Touching from a distance, further all the time
Dance, dance, dance, dance,
dance to the radio (4)
Well I could call out
when the going gets tough
The things we've learned
are no longer enough
No language, just sound
is all we need know
To synchronise love to the beat
of the show
And we could dance -- dance, dance,
dance, dance, to the radio (4)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JOY DIVISION tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
