When You Don’t See Me by The Sisters of Mercy Guitar Chords


The tempo is 120 and it’s played in common time (4/4) and those
‘1 2 3 4’ markings mean where the 1/4 notes are played. I really
tried to get those timings but I’d still like to hear corrections and
other comments about them. Bass is very simple… just follow the chords.

I got some additions and corrections to this. One new riff and some changes
in chords.

Guitars 1 & 2 are overdrive guitars
Guitars 3 & 4 are ‘clean’ ones

Ah Artificial harmonic
H Hammer on
Pm Palm muting
(5)-/-/- ‘Bend’ down with bar & wibrate
