Subject: NEVER LET ME DOWN by Depeche Mode
Never Let Me Down
(words & music by Martin L. Gore)
Before I transcribe this I have to acknowledge VIKTOR HOLUBEK (email:
[email protected]). 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 riff
E -3—1-3—3-3—3—1-3-1-3-||
B —————————||
G —————————||
D —————————||
A —————————||
E —————————||
The Riff 1 chords and lines are:
Dm C F D#
E ———1—|———1—|————-|—————-|
B —3—1-3—3-|—3—1-3——|———1—|—————-|
G ————-|————2-|—2—0-2—2-|—2—2—0-2-0—|
D ————-|————-|————-|—————3-|
A ————-|————-|————-|—————-|
E ————-|————-|————-|—————-|
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, F progression):
Dm C G riff
E —————|—8—6-8——|-3—1-3—3-3—3—1-3-1-3-||
B —3—1-3—3-1—|———-8—|—————————||
G —————|————-|—————————||
D —————|————-|—————————||
A —————|————-|—————————||
E —————|————-|—————————||
For the chorus (the Cm part), the keyboard plays:
Cm Bb Gm F
E ——8——8——|——6——6——|——————|————3—3-||
B —8—8——8—|—6—6——6—|——8——8——|——6—6—6—||
G -5——-5——5-|-3——-3——3-|—7—7——7—|—5—5———||
D ——————|——————|-5——-5——5-|-3—————||
A ——————|——————|——————|——————||
E ——————|——————|——————|——————||
Those are basically all the keyboard lines. The lyrics are:
Dm C G riff
I~m taking a ride with my best friend
Dm C G riff
I hope he never lets me down again
Dm C
He knows where he~s taking me
Gm Bb
Taking me where I want to be
Dm C G riff
I~m taking a ride with my best friend
Riff 2: Dm C G riff
Cm Bb
We~re flying high
Gm F
We~re watching the world pass us by
Cm Bb
Never want to come down
Gm F
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
Riff 1: Dm C F D#
Dm C G riff
I~m taking a ride with my best friend
Dm C G riff
I hope he never lets me down again
Dm C
Promises me I~m as safe as houses
Gm Bb
As long as I remember who~s wearing the trousers
Dm C G riff
I hope he never lets me down again
Riff 2: Dm C G riff
Cm Bb
We~re flying high
Gm F
We~re watching the world pass us by
Cm Bb
Never want to come down
Gm F
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
Dm C A Gm
Dm C A Gm
Dm C
Never let me down
A Gm
Never let me down
Dm C
Never let me down
A Gm
Never let me down
Dm C
See the stars they~re shining bright
A Gm
Everything is alright tonight…
For playing guitar, I highly suggest you to play the ending chords in this
manner, as it does add gloom to the song:
Dm C A Gm
E -5—|-x—|-5—|-6—|
B -6—|-5—|-5—|-8—|
G -7—|-5—|-6—|-7—|
D -7—|-5—|-7—|-5—|
A -5—|-3—|-7—|—-|
E —-|—-|-5—|—-|
And that is it.
