When The Body Speaks

Depeche Mode

DEPECHE MODE - WHEN THE BODY SPEAKS This is one of my favourite songs... I searched for one tab for a long time, but I found they were all incorrect in many places:( and so I attempted to write this one, which is nearly 100% perfect, I can play it along with the song and it sounds really good! I'd like to thank the ones who tabbed this song before, cause they helped me in my own work, specially with the chorus chords that have been difficult to found:) I hope you'll like it!
