Scared as You Transcribed by: Paul Dant (pdant@lion.qacps.k12.md.us) From: The Cure - Dream and Silence (http://web.tiscalinet.it/thecure) First of all, the six-string bass that reminds me a lot of another good song (Faith): Play this way at the beginning (because of the slide between B and G, listen to the CD) E |--10---8-7----7-7-7-8-7\3--- And this way the rest, with variations: A |--5-3-2--55-3-2--3-2---------- E |---------------------3-------- You can alternate between these two as much as you want. And the rhythm guitar that goes with it: D something C B |---(5)5------------5---------------------------- G |----7---------------5--------------------------- D |---7-----------------5-------------------------- A |--5-----------------(3)3------------------------ Note the parenthesis, you can play this two ways, either playing the D on the G string and the E on the B string at the same time, or play them separately, moving up the chord. The same for the C chord... By the way, the song starts with the D chord thing, and has some kind of really cool distortion-wah sounding thing... At the change, the chords are A-G-E (all octave chords) like this: E A D G B e A X 12 14 14 14 X G X 10 12 12 12 X E X 7 9 9 9 X For the solo, just kind of go crazy on whatever progression it is the solo is over, I forgot.
