You're so close  --Peter Murphy from the album "Holy Smoke"


This transcription starts at the beginning of the first verse.  Listen to
the album for the rhythm and to know what notes to mute.

Verse 1:
                   -------------------------------------------------------|
            --------------------------------------------------------------|
                   -------------------------------------------------------|
                   -----------------------------5--5-5-5------2--2-2-2----|
                   --1-1-0---0------------------3--3-3-3--3-5-0--0-0-0----|
           --------3---3----1-1-1-1-1-3-----------------------------------|
                   [clean tone..]  [distortion........
Saaaaaay Yoooooooou                 I can hear the groove......

-------------------|
-------------------|
-------------------|
-2-2-2--2-2-2--2---|  Repeat distorted part.
-0-0-0--0-0-0--0---|
-----------------3-|

Chorus 1:

[clean guitar throughout]
-2-2-3-2-2--2-2-2--3-3-3-3--1-1-1-1--|  The strum pattern may be wrong,
-3-3-3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3-3--1-1-1-1--|  but I'm pretty sure it goes
-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2--0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2--|  D-G-F.
-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3--|
-------------------2-2-2-2--3-3-3-3--|  Repeat for the rest of the chorus
-------------------3-3-3-3-----------|

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaay  Yoooooou.....
            (Getting Closer....)

Verse 2:

Repeat the original distorted riff 4 times.

Chorus 2:
Verse 3:
Chorus 3:

The same chord progression as the previous choruses, but played with
palm-muted power chords.

---------------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------------|
-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-|
-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|
---------------------------------------------------------|
 Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay   Yoooooooooooou

-------------------------|
-------------------------|
-------------------------|
-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|
--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8-|
-------------------------|

On the 2nd half of the chorus, the original clean riff used in previous
choruses doubles this.

I haven't bothered to figure out the intro guitar (also used in the break).
If anyone knows this or has any corrections, they are welcome.
