Jose's cover of the Joy Division song. Just the chords. Forgive my snack
tabbing but it's all strummed and it's pretty easy to figure out the tab
while listening along. I've put in bar lines to highlight the places
where there are transitional notes at the end of a bar. You don't
necessarily play every single note of the chord each strum, but if you've
got your fingers where indicated, it'll sound about right.
