Shes Lost Control

Biography:

Joy Division were a post-punk band formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. Originally named Warsaw, the band consisted of Ian Curtis (vocals and occasional guitar), Bernard Sumner (guitar and keyboards), Peter Hook (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Stephen Morris (drums and percussion). The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. Much of their popularity/reputation arguably resulted from frequent playings on air by iconic DJ John Peel

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

- To sing with a standalone guitar, including guitar and bass elements.
- Recordings: Peel Session in February 1979, Unknown Pleasures in June 1979, 12” Atmosphere in August 1980
(also in Substance and Heart and Soul). I used the Unknown Pleasures version, and added at the end the
additional verse of the 12” version (note there is some minor lyrics differences in other verses).
- If you manage to sing while playing the main riff, do it in verse 1 and the additional verse.
- Chords can be seen in this 1979 performance: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02rn39z
- Hooky was playing the riffs on its bass starting from the 19th fret on the G string and continuously playing
the open D string. With a guitar you can do the same starting from the 7th fret on G string. But starting
from the 12h fret of the D string sounds better with a guitar, even if you lose the open string.

[Verse 1] 0:30
G A Bb
Confusion in her eyes that says it all
C D
She's lost control
G A Bb
And she's clinging to the nearest passer by
C A
She's lost control
G A Bb
And she gave away the secrets of her past
C D
And said "I've lost control again"
G A Bb
And of a voice that told her when and where to act
C A
She said "I've lost control again"

[Verse 2] 1:16
G A Bb
And she turned around and took me by the hand
C D
And said "I've lost control again"
G A Bb
And how I'll never know just why or understand
C A
She said "I've lost control again"
G A Bb
And she screamed out kicking on her side
C D
And said "I've lost control again"

G A Bb
And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd died
C A
She said "I've lost control"
G A Bb
She's lost control again
C D
She's lost control
G A Bb
She's lost control again
C A
She's lost control

[Verse 3] 2:36
G A Bb
And I had to phone her friend to state my case
C D
And say "She's lost control again"
G A Bb
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes
C A
And said "I've lost control again"
G A Bb
And she expressed herself in many different ways
C D
Until she lost control again
G A Bb
And walked upon the edge of no escape
C A
And laughed "I've lost control"
G A Bb
She's lost control again
C D
She's lost control
G A Bb
She's lost control again
C A
She's lost control

G A Bb C A

G A Bb
I could live a little better with the myths and the lies
C D
When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried
G A Bb
I could live a little in a wider line
C A
When the change is gone,
G A Bb
When the urge is gone
C D
To lose control...
