This attempts to capture how John Mcgeoch played this live. You can hear it
best on the "Kid Jenson Sesssion" from the At The BBC album or the "Workhouse
Demo" included on the remaster of Kiss in the Dreamhouse. There's also a few
live performances from Summer 1982 on youtube before he was replaced by Robert Smith
in November (e.g. Elephant Fayre and Karen Gothenburg).
Compared to how Robert Smith plays it there's some extra lead bits and the main
chorus riff goes up an octave on the third repeat. I've tabbed it with octave
double stops but you can also just play the higher note on its own with a lot
of gain.
