Tuning: Standard

Okay, this is going to be difficult...

The aim of the production on this song was to create something hectic...
As such, the guitar can be barely heard. Have a look at either the 
“Heart and Soul” Boxset and the live version on disc 3, or the “Unknown Pleasures”
Deluxe edition to hear what is played behind all the chaos.

Intro/verse riff
    Let ring for a few bars...

Play that last part through the verses and chorus.

After the chorus there is a little power chord riff -

To be honest, I don’t think I can tab the rest of the song.
It’s something to do with a whammy bar and a slide...that’s all I know
