Subject: TAB: "Ceremony" New Order/Joy Division
This is my first attempt at tabbing something out.
A friend and I figured most of this out watching New Order playing
live. Any corrections are welcomed. I tabbed out the bass part for
a regular guitar. I will tab out Dream Attack
and Regret in the up coming months.

Lyrics (from cs.uwp.edu) with a couple of corrections
------
You'd smile and salute me
If I told a different story
All the sinful wheels are turning
Turning in and turn towards this time
All she asks is when to hold me
Then again the same old story
We traveled oh, so quickly
Travel first to me, towards this time
Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows it's got to be this time
What she'd heard, these things she said
The time she cried and failed to wait this time
Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows it's got to be this time
Avenues, all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever
Forever - watching love grow
Forever - letting me know
Forever
Have fun!
-Tony Fernandez

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 NEW ORDER 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.
