    A FOREST

     By The Cure

     Transcribed by pauly@hardy.u.washington.edu

     I'm not sure as to the correctness of my notes, and I haven't

     sat down to figure out the solo, but this is the main part

    The bassline is just the same 4 chords..

    A     C     F    D

    just the first two strings (E and A)...

    the opening is like:

Come closer and see       I hear her voice	Suddenly I stop
See into the trees	  Calling my name	But I know its too late
Find the girl		  The sound is deep 	Im los in a forest
While you can		  In the dark		All alone
Come closer and see	  I hear her voice 	The girl was never there
See into the dark	  And start to run	Its always the same
Just follow your eyes	  Into the trees	Im running towards nothing
Just follow your eyes	  Into the trees	Again and again and again...
