------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARTIST : The Cure SONG : Plainsong ALBUM : Disintegration BASSIST : Simon Gallup ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the tab how I play it, playing over the guitar overlay on my bass. It sounds beautiful, much like the song. The timings are easy to hear and to play. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MAIN RIFF --------- When guitar overlay isn't present, play this. The slide from fret 15 indicates a slide back to 3, and so on. It sounds really nice if you can get the slide perfect. --------- G ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- D ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- A ||-----3----8----3----8----10----12----15/----------------------------- E ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- GUITAR OVERLAY -------------- Each part is obvious when playing along with the song. Sliding to each following note will create a nice smooth 'progressive sound'. -------------- G ||-----7/9----9----7----7----14----14----12---------------------------- D ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- A ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- E ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- G ||-----7/9----9----7----7----14----14----12----10----10----10/12----14- D ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- A ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- E ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- G ||-----5----5----5----7/9---------------------------------------------- D ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- A ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- E ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- G ||-----7/9----9----7----7----14----14----12----10----10----10/12----14- D ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- A ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- E ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- G ||-----5----5----5----7/9----9/0----2----2----5----5----5----7/9------- D ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- A ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- E ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- G ||-----0----2----2/5----5----7----7------------------------------------ D ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- A ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- E ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- ENDING ------ G ||-----5----5----5----7----5/4----------------------------------------- D ||--------------------------------5----2----3----2--------------------- A ||----------------------------------------------------3----3----5----0- E ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPROVISION ----------- This song is easy to add to with your own notes, but obviously at the right time and in the right time sequence. This is how I play my fills. -------------- G ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- D ||--------------------6/8/5-------------6---4---------------11--------- A ||-----3----5----8------------3----5-------------8----10----------12--- E ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- G ||-----7/9----9-------------7/9/7----14----14/10/12-----------7/9------ D ||-----------------7/9/7-------------------------------7/9------------- A ||--------------------------------------------------------------------- E ||---------------------------------------------------------------------
