24 Hours

Joy Division
Tab
★4.7(18)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

first bit

Oh how I've realized

how I wanted time

Put into perspective

tried so hard to find

Just for one moment

I thought I'd found my way

Destiny unfolded

I watched it slip away

second bit

Excessive flash points

beyond all reach

Solitary demands for

all I'd like to keep

Let's take a ride out

see what we can find

Valueless collection of

hopes and past desires

Middle Bit:

first bit

I never realized

the lengths I'd have to go

All the darkest corners of

a sense I didn't know

Just for one moment

I heard somebody call

Looked beyond the day in hand

There's nothing there at all

second bit

Now that I've realized

how it's all gone wrong

Got to find some therapy

this treatment takes too long

Deep in the heart of

where sympathy held sway

Got to find my destiny

before it gets too late

End Bit:

Note: It's only a rough guide, and there's a lot of extra stuff

played around what's written here, but I hope it's of some help.

Thanks to Nigel Koop for sending me the tape ;)
