Hundreds of bad covers of the beloved New Order song, but this version is really cool.
I worked out this upbeat jazzy latin version simply through a few listening and trying chords out. I quite
possibly got the names of the chords wrong, but it sounds good if you put a samba rhythm to it, hitting the
bass note and then the treble chords.

How does it feel to
E7 A7 B7
treat me like you do? When you've
A7 B7
D*
laid your hands upon me And
E7 A7 B7
told me who you are. I
D A D7+
thought I was mista-ken. I
D A D7+
thought I heard your words. Tell me,
A7 B7
D*
how do I feel. Tell me
E7 A7 B7
now, how do I feel?
Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today
I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel
I thought I told you to leave me
Well, I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold
When your heart grows cold
When your heart grows cold
[Outro - just power chord versions of the main progression]
