The Darkest Star Chords & Tabs

by Depeche Mode

[Version Description]
12 song from DM's album 'Playing The Angel' (2005).
When you see "A#m - F#m" it means each chord is played half a beat
You can use capo on 1st fret and play D as C-sharped chord on 2nd fret to simplify the fingering.
You can play [Verses] using [Riff 2] or just picking the chords.
After [Outro] you should play [Riff 3] over [Riff 1] where possible.
