Album: Music From Regions Beyond
Tuning:Standard
 
Ok. How the hell did this New Order song get on here?
This song takes the cake as being different than your
usual Tiger Army song. Despite all of that, I think
the song was executed very well since they still
left some of their rockabilly roots in it. This
is a great song and one of my favorites. This was
definitely the most difficult song to tab out of their
entire catalog. The guitar acts mostly as a backup to
the keyboard and drums. I'm about 85% sure on this tab.
Strums not exact. LISTEN for the changes. Let's go!
 
Clean tone, no reverb

Alright that's it for that tough one!! Let me know what

which was tabbed by yours truly. So, up next is "Spring Forward"
Have fun!!

I read an interview with Nick 13 on the net around the time this album was released and therein he stated that this was the first guitar tune that he ever recorded that was not in standard tuning. Explains the fact that this was the most difficult song out of their catalog, eh? Nevertheless, I think your transcription is a faithful rendition of whatever the hell Nick plays. Five stars!
