Digital Bass

(ver. 1)
Joy Division

This song is generally pretty simple. It's basically Riff 1 (with
a few variations) throughout.  I've included two variations to Riff 1.

Riff 1
G ---------------------------------------------------|
D ---------------------------------------------------|
A ---5-4----4-5-4-5-4-5-4----------------------------|
E -------55------------------------------------------|

Riff 2
G ---------------------------------------------------|
D -------------------776-----------------------------|
A ---5-4----4-5-4-5----------------------------------|
E -------55------------------------------------------|

Riff 3
G ---------------------------------------------------|
D -------------------777-----------------------------|
A ---5-4----4-5-4-5----------------------------------|
E -------55------------------------------------------|

Open the song with Riff 1 and play 4X.

After that, it's easier (and makes for a shorter tab) to listen to the
song and learn where variations are added.  There seems to be a great
number of variant riffs, and the song really sounds fine wherever you
decide to add them, so have some freedom with it.

please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take
the consequences." -- PJ O'Rourke
