/ Bauhaus / The Sky's Gone Out (1982) / Spirit guitar tab

Artist: Bauhaus
Song: Spirit
Album: The Sky's Gone Out

 transcribed by : Lyle Erickson 

Ok... This isn't really a guitar song, but I've got the guitar and most of
the synth stuff figured out.  Here's what I get....

Intro (guitar)

---------------------------------
---------------------------------  Another guitar comes and doubles this
---------------------------------  second time through.
---------------------------------
-2/3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-
---------------------------------

Now that synth thing comes in.  It does this (transcribed for the guitar):

-7h8h11---11p8p7--                        -6p5p3------
------------------                        ------------
------------------  a few times and then  ------------
------------------                        ------------
------------------                        ------------
------------------                        ------------

This goes on throughout the first verse.  When I play it, I usually just
play along with it like this (with a clean tone):

D (power chord)               B (power)
Tonight I could be with you   Or waiting in the wings

D (power)                           B (power)
Lift your heart with soaring song   Cut down the puppet strings

G (major)                          G (major)
Cut down the puppet strings

I really don't know if there *is* guitar here.  If so, its not very
prominant.  Anyway, I'm pretty sure all the instruments go
D B D B G G  for the verses....

In the break before the third verse, the synth goes:

-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------0------------0------
-3-----2-3-2--3-3-------2-3-2--3----3-2-3-2-3--------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------

During the "If I am on the sidelines..." and the  "I may tap you on the
shoulder..." parts, I don't know what the synth is doing.... anybody?
