Ceremony Tab

Joy Division - Ceremony (Live) ("Still" Version)
 
Less developed than the eventual New Order version, but the song is there.
 
This tab is based on a matrix mix of an audience and soundboard recording in order to
get the whole song. Just the soundboard, as
 
released on "Still," starts in the middle of the second Main Riff.
 
The structure of the song goes:
Intro
Main Riff
