Biografía:
La formación original de la banda, entonces Easy Cure, nació en un colegio de Crawley, una ciudad construida sobre los escombros que dejó la guerra en un pequeño pueblo en el corazón de la campiña del sur de Inglaterra. Aunque Easy Cure había surgido como una banda de punk, para cuando simplificaron su nombre a The Cure, la creciente fascinación de Robert Smith por los temas oscuros y opresivos, ya se había unido a su habilidad para canalizar esas ideas en canciones apasionadamente evocadoras

Am Em
The sacrifice of penance
F the last chord is: Am
In the holy hour

“OTHER VOICES”
Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1981
Tabbed by: Winston Campbell & graph_sas
The Tab part tabbed by: Winston Campbell [[email protected]]
After waiting such a long time for some one to transcribe this song, I just
decided to figure it out by myself. I tried doing that months ago and
failed. But this time around it was not as hard as I thought it was.
Basically (maybe skipping notes), but basically this is how I play it:
The strange intro is something like this:
e -------------0--0------------|
B -0--0--7-----5--5--------0---|
G -4--4--4-----------6-----4---|
D -----------------------------|
A -----------------------------|
E -----------------------------|
The bass riff starts out as:
Riff 1:
e-------||-----------------|---------------------||
G ------||-----------------|---------------------||
D -4----||----------0------|---------------------||
A ----0-||-2--2-2-2--------|-------------------0-||
E ------||---------------0-|-2--2-2-2-3--2--0----||
The double lines means that you must repeat the riff ending and starting at
the double lines (you are not supposed to play those first two intro notes
again). This riff (within the double lines) is repeated seven times, then
you play:
e------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
G -----------------|---------------------|-----------------|
D ----------0------|-------------------0-|-2--2-2-2--------|
A -2--2-2-2--------|---------------------|---------------2-|
E ---------------0-|-2--2-2-2-3--2--0----|----------3------|
e----------------------|-----------------|---------------------|
G ---------------------|-----------------|---------------------|
D -------------------0-|-2--2-2-2--------|---------------------|
A -4--4-4-4-5--4--2----|---------------2-|-4--4-4-4-5--4--2--0-|
E ---------------------|----------3------|---------------------|
You play Riff 1 again throughout the verse. Now, this is the part that may
not be accurate: the guitar tablature. I am sure I am pretty close, this is
how I play the guitar part during the verse:
e ----------------------|---------------------|
B ----------------------|-2--2-2-2/3--3--3--3-|
G -4--4-4-4/7--6-6--6-x-|-3--3-3-3/4--4--4--4-|
D -4--4-4-4/7--7-7--7-x-|-4--4-4-4/5--5--5--5-|
A ----------------------|---------------------|
E ----------------------|---------------------|
If you listen to how the guitar is played, you will get the idea. Now, this
song, believe it or not, has two choruses. The first chorus comes after the
first verse (obviously). The bass for it (and I am not perfect on this) is:
Chorus 1 Bass Riff:
e ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
G ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
D ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
A ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
E ||-2----2--2--2-|-0--0---0--0-|-2--2-2-2-3------|-2--2-2-2-3------||
This is played four times. It is good to slip that A note for the last time
when going back into Riff 1 for the second verse. The guitar part for Riff 2
is:
Guitar Riff 1A:
e ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
B ||-2--2--2--2---|-0-0-0--0--0-|-7--7-7-7-87-7-7--7-|-7--7-7-7-87-7-7--||
G ||-3--3--3--3---|-0---0--0--0-|-6--6-6-6-76-6-6--6-|-6--6-6-6-76-6-6--||
D ||-4--4---------|-2------2----|---------------------|-------------------||
A ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
E ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
Guitar Riff 1B:
e --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
B -2--2--2--2---|-0---0--0--0-|-7--7-7-7-8/10-10--10-|-7--7-7-7-8/10-10--10-|
G -3--3--3--3---|-0---0--0--0-|-6--6-6-6-7/-9--9---9-|-6--6-6-6-7/-9--9---9-|
D -4--4-----4---|-2------2----|----------------------|----------------------|
A --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
E --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
You play Guitar Riff 1A three times, then you play Guitar Riff 2B once. You
can play around a bit, especially at the F# to Em part. The second chorus
goes something like this:
e ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------------------||
G ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------------------||
D ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------------------||
A ||-4----4--4--4-|-5--5---5--5-|-----------------|------------------------||
E ||--------------|-------------|-7--7-7-7-5------|-2--2-2-2-3-----0--2--5-||
You play this three times, and on the fourth time, you play only half of it.
Listen to the tape or CD and you will know what I mean. Anyway, the guitar
for that part is:
e ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
B ||-----------|------------|-12--12-12-1210-10-10-10-|-7--7-7-7/10-10-10-||
G ||-6--6-6--6-|-7-7--7-7-7-|-11--11-11-11-9--9--9--9-|-6--6-6-6/-9--9--9-||
D ||-6--6-6--6-|-7-7--7-7-7-|--------------------------|-------------------||
A ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
E ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
Like the bass, repeat this three times and then play half of it. The song
ends with Riff 1 repeating and there are inaudible sounds of the intro going.
I hope this has helped. It may not be perfect and maybe you can formulate
your own transcription of it or whatever. By the way, here are the lyrics:

Tuning: normal
Intro: Dm, A, Bb
Riff 1: [Dm, Em, Bb]
Dm A
She stands twelve feet above the flood
Bb
She stares
Alone
Across the water
Dm A
The loneliness grows and slowly
Bb
Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards
Riff 2: [G, F#, Bb]
G F#
One by one her senses die
Bb
The memories fade
And leave her eyes
G F#
Still seeing worlds that never were
Bb Repeat Riff 1: [Dm, A,
x2
And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Repeat Riff 2: [G, F#, Bb] x 2
Dm A
Starting at the violent sound
Bb
She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Dm A
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
Bb
The water bows
Receives her
G F# Bb
And drowns her at its ease
G F# Bb
Drowns her at its ease
Dm A
I would have left the world all bleeding
Bb
Could I only help you love
Dm A Bb
The fleeting shapes so many years ago
So young and beautiful and brave
G F#
Everything was true
Bb
It couldn't be a story
G F#
I wish it was all true
Bb
I wish it couldn't be a story
Dm
The words all left me
A
Lifeless
Hoping
Bb
Breathing like the drowning man

Oh Fushia
You leave me
Bb G, F#, Bb
Breathing like the drowning man
Bb G, F#, Bb
Breathing like the drowning man
Repeat Riff 1,and 2 two times alternately to the end...

Dm
Catch me if I fall
F
I'm losing hold
Em F
I can't just carry on this way
Dm
And every time
F
I turn away
Em
Lose another blind game
F
The idea of perfection holds me
Dm F
Suddenly I see you change
Em
Everything at once the same
F
But the mountain never moves
Dm
Rape me like a child
F
Christened in blood
Am
Painted like an unknown saint
G
There's nothing left but hope
Dm
Your voice is dead
And old
F
And always empty
Em
Trust in me through closing years
F
Perfect moments wait
Dm
If only we could stay
Please
F
Say the right words
Or cry like the stone white clown
Em
And stand
F
Lost forever in a happy crowd
Dm
No one lifts their hands
F
No one lifts their eyes
Em
Justified with empty words
F
The party just gets better and better
††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††
Dm F
I went away alone
Em
With nothing left
F
But faith

“OTHER VOICES”
Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1981
Tabbed by: Winston Campbell & graph_sas
The Tab part tabbed by: Winston Campbell [[email protected]]
After waiting such a long time for some one to transcribe this song, I just
decided to figure it out by myself. I tried doing that months ago and
failed. But this time around it was not as hard as I thought it was.
Basically (maybe skipping notes), but basically this is how I play it:
The strange intro is something like this:
e -------------0--0------------|
B -0--0--7-----5--5--------0---|
G -4--4--4-----------6-----4---|
D -----------------------------|
A -----------------------------|
E -----------------------------|
The bass riff starts out as:
Riff 1:
e-------||-----------------|---------------------||
G ------||-----------------|---------------------||
D -4----||----------0------|---------------------||
A ----0-||-2--2-2-2--------|-------------------0-||
E ------||---------------0-|-2--2-2-2-3--2--0----||
The double lines means that you must repeat the riff ending and starting at
the double lines (you are not supposed to play those first two intro notes
again). This riff (within the double lines) is repeated seven times, then
you play:
e------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
G -----------------|---------------------|-----------------|
D ----------0------|-------------------0-|-2--2-2-2--------|
A -2--2-2-2--------|---------------------|---------------2-|
E ---------------0-|-2--2-2-2-3--2--0----|----------3------|
e----------------------|-----------------|---------------------|
G ---------------------|-----------------|---------------------|
D -------------------0-|-2--2-2-2--------|---------------------|
A -4--4-4-4-5--4--2----|---------------2-|-4--4-4-4-5--4--2--0-|
E ---------------------|----------3------|---------------------|
You play Riff 1 again throughout the verse. Now, this is the part that may
not be accurate: the guitar tablature. I am sure I am pretty close, this is
how I play the guitar part during the verse:
e ----------------------|---------------------|
B ----------------------|-2--2-2-2/3--3--3--3-|
G -4--4-4-4/7--6-6--6-x-|-3--3-3-3/4--4--4--4-|
D -4--4-4-4/7--7-7--7-x-|-4--4-4-4/5--5--5--5-|
A ----------------------|---------------------|
E ----------------------|---------------------|
If you listen to how the guitar is played, you will get the idea. Now, this
song, believe it or not, has two choruses. The first chorus comes after the
first verse (obviously). The bass for it (and I am not perfect on this) is:
Chorus 1 Bass Riff:
e ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
G ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
D ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
A ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
E ||-2----2--2--2-|-0--0---0--0-|-2--2-2-2-3------|-2--2-2-2-3------||
This is played four times. It is good to slip that A note for the last time
when going back into Riff 1 for the second verse. The guitar part for Riff 2
is:
Guitar Riff 1A:
e ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
B ||-2--2--2--2---|-0-0-0--0--0-|-7--7-7-7-87-7-7--7-|-7--7-7-7-87-7-7--||
G ||-3--3--3--3---|-0---0--0--0-|-6--6-6-6-76-6-6--6-|-6--6-6-6-76-6-6--||
D ||-4--4---------|-2------2----|---------------------|-------------------||
A ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
E ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
Guitar Riff 1B:
e --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
B -2--2--2--2---|-0---0--0--0-|-7--7-7-7-8/10-10--10-|-7--7-7-7-8/10-10--10-|
G -3--3--3--3---|-0---0--0--0-|-6--6-6-6-7/-9--9---9-|-6--6-6-6-7/-9--9---9-|
D -4--4-----4---|-2------2----|----------------------|----------------------|
A --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
E --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
You play Guitar Riff 1A three times, then you play Guitar Riff 2B once. You
can play around a bit, especially at the F# to Em part. The second chorus
goes something like this:
e ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------------------||
G ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------------------||
D ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------------------||
A ||-4----4--4--4-|-5--5---5--5-|-----------------|------------------------||
E ||--------------|-------------|-7--7-7-7-5------|-2--2-2-2-3-----0--2--5-||
You play this three times, and on the fourth time, you play only half of it.
Listen to the tape or CD and you will know what I mean. Anyway, the guitar
for that part is:
e ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
B ||-----------|------------|-12--12-12-1210-10-10-10-|-7--7-7-7/10-10-10-||
G ||-6--6-6--6-|-7-7--7-7-7-|-11--11-11-11-9--9--9--9-|-6--6-6-6/-9--9--9-||
D ||-6--6-6--6-|-7-7--7-7-7-|--------------------------|-------------------||
A ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
E ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
Like the bass, repeat this three times and then play half of it. The song
ends with Riff 1 repeating and there are inaudible sounds of the intro going.
I hope this has helped. It may not be perfect and maybe you can formulate
your own transcription of it or whatever. By the way, here are the lyrics:

Alone
Across the water

The loneliness grows and slowly

Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards

The water bows
Receives her

And drowns her at its ease

Drowns her at its ease

I would have left the world all bleeding

So young and beautiful and brave

Dm
Catch me if I fall
F
I'm losing hold
Em F
I can't just carry on this way
Dm
And every time
F
I turn away
Em
Lose another blind game
F
The idea of perfection holds me
Dm F
Suddenly I see you change
Em
Everything at once the same
F
But the mountain never moves
Dm
Rape me like a child
F
Christened in blood
Am
Painted like an unknown saint
G
There's nothing left but hope
Dm
Your voice is dead
And old
F
And always empty
Em
Trust in me through closing years
F
Perfect moments wait
Dm
If only we could stay
Please
F
Say the right words
Or cry like the stone white clown
Em
And stand
F
Lost forever in a happy crowd
Dm
No one lifts their hands
F
No one lifts their eyes
Em
Justified with empty words
F
The party just gets better and better
††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††
Dm F
I went away alone
Em
With nothing left
F
But faith
