Never Let Me Down
	(words & music by Martin L. Gore)


I figured out the keyboard configuration from
his chord progressions right here at the same site. All I am just doing is
adding on to his input.

The intro is:

 G+G riff

E MajorE -3--1-3---3-3--3--1-3-1-3-||
BB --------------------------||
G+G --------------------------||
D MajorD --------------------------||
A augmentedA --------------------------||
E MajorE --------------------------||

The Riff 1 chords and lines are:

 DmDm      C majorC       FF       D#D#

E MajorE ---------1---|---------1---|-------------|----------------|
BB --3--1-3---3-|--3--1-3-----|---------1---|----------------|
G+G -------------|-----------2-|--2--0-2---2-|--2--2--0-2-0---|
D MajorD -------------|-------------|-------------|--------------3-|
A augmentedA -------------|-------------|-------------|----------------|
E MajorE -------------|-------------|-------------|----------------|


The Riff 2 chords (featured at the end of the chorus and mostly at the end of
the verse when the song goes into the Cm, Bb, Gm, FF progression):

 DmDm       C majorC       G+G riff

E MajorE ---------------|--8--6-8-----|-3--1-3---3-3--3--1-3-1-3-||
BB --3--1-3--3-1--|----------8--|--------------------------||
G+G ---------------|-------------|--------------------------||
D MajorD ---------------|-------------|--------------------------||
A augmentedA ---------------|-------------|--------------------------||
E MajorE ---------------|-------------|--------------------------||


For the chorus (the C minorCm part), the keyboard plays:

 C minorCm        Bb majorBb        G minorGm        FF

E MajorE -----8-----8-----|-----6-----6-----|-----------------|-----------3---3-||
BB ---8---8-----8---|---6---6-----6---|-----8-----8-----|-----6---6---6---||
G+G -5-------5-----5-|-3-------3-----3-|---7---7-----7---|---5---5---------||
D MajorD -----------------|-----------------|-5-------5-----5-|-3---------------||
A augmentedA -----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------||
E MajorE -----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------||

Those are basically all the keyboard lines. The lyrics are:

DmDm      C majorC            G+G riff
DmDm    C majorC            G+G riff
DmDm         C majorC
G minorGm        Bb majorBb
DmDm      C majorC            G+G riff


Riff 2: DmDm  C majorC  G+G riff

C minorCm      Bb majorBb
          G minorGm      FF
C minorCm         Bb majorBb
           G minorGm          FF
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground


Riff 1: DmDm  C majorC  FF  D#D#

DmDm      C majorC            G+G riff
DmDm    C majorC            G+G riff
DmDm         C majorC
  G minorGm            Bb majorBb
DmDm    C majorC            G+G riff


Riff 2: DmDm  C majorC  G+G riff

C minorCm      Bb majorBb
          G minorGm      FF
C minorCm         Bb majorBb
           G minorGm          FF


DmDm  C majorC  A augmentedA  G minorGm
DmDm  C majorC  A augmentedA  G minorGm

DmDm      C majorC
A augmentedA      G minorGm
DmDm      C majorC
A augmentedA      G minorGm
DmDm          C majorC
A augmentedA        G minorGm


For playing guitar, I highly suggest you to play the ending chords in this
manner, as it does add gloom to the song:

  DmDm  C majorC  A augmentedA  G minorGm

E MajorE -5--|-x--|-5--|-6--|
BB -6--|-5--|-5--|-8--|
G+G -7--|-5--|-6--|-7--|
D MajorD -7--|-5--|-7--|-5--|
A augmentedA -5--|-3--|-7--|----|
E MajorE ----|----|-5--|----|


And that is it.
