New Order Chords & Tabs

Version: 5 Type: Tab

Crystal Tab

   
Strangely enough, the only tab here that seems to be in the right key for the guitar 
on the version of Crystal I'm listening to on Rhapsody) is the one that's getting the 
rating...maybe because of the intro.

piano intro (see elsewhere)

I like to play it with a Capo at the 1st fret

Chords (in absolute fret position):

Abm/D# - x66444
F#/C#  - x44322
C#     - x4666x

GUITAR INTRO:

Abm/D# (2 bars), F#/C# (1 bar), C# (1 bar)
------

VERSE1:
-------
Abm/D#          F#/C#    C#
We're like crystal [hey]
We break easy [whooo]
I'm a poor man [hey]
If you leave me [whooo]
I'm applauded [hey]
Then forgotten
It was summer [hey]
Now it's autumn [whooo]

CHORUS:
-------

The first chord is strummed very fast like a thrash for two bars, and the rest of the 
is strummed similarly to the verses

           Abm/D#
   I don't know what to say
            F#/C#       C#
   You don't care anyway
   I'm a man in a rage
   With a girl I betrayed
   Here comes love
   It's like honey
   You can't buy
   It with money
   You're not alone any more
   You shook me to the core,
   You shook me to the core

VERSE2:
--------

(Chords same as for Verse 1)

[Whooo, hey]
We're like crystal
It's not easy [whooo]
With your love [hey]
You could feed me [whooo]
Every man [hey, every man]
And every woman [and every woman]
Needs someone [hey]
So keep it coming
Keep it coming
Keep it coming
Keep it coming
Keep it coming
Keep it coming
Keep it coming


CHORUS:
--------

(Chords same as for chorus above)

   I don't know what to say
   You don't care anyway
   I'm a man in a rage
   (Just tell me what I've got to do)
   With a girl I betrayed
   Here comes love
   It's like honey
   You can't buy it with money
   You're not alone anymore
   You shook me to the core
   You shook me to the core


Bass part on 6-string:  repeat same as bass part above

The rest of the song is just the three chords over and over.


Keep it coming
Keep it coming
Keep it coming
Keep it coming
Keep it coming......
