The Cure - Other Voices bass tab

"Other Voices" by The Cure from Staring at the Sea--The Singles

Here's another cool bassline from that favorite band of mine. I think a pick might be used, so use so if you desire. I tried to be as accurate notewise as I could. Also listen closely to the rhythm in case I put too many #'s.

4/4 time, B minor

wait until after intro...1st note on a pick-up...

figure 1--repeat 8 times

G---|---------------|-------------------|

D---|---------------|-------------------|

A---|----------5----|-------------------|

E-5-|-7--7-7-7----0-|-2--2-2-2-3--2-0-5-|

figure 2--substitute 1st note of this figure with last note of figure one on the 8th time

G---|------------------|--------------------|-----------------|---------------------|

D---|------------------|--------------------|-----------------|---------------------|

A-5-|-7--7-7-7-----2-|-4--4-4-4-5-4-2-5-|-7--7-7-7----2-|-4--4-4-4-5-4------|

E---|-------------3----|--------------------|------------3----|------------------2-5-|

repeat figure 1 4 times.... keep playing figure 1 on 1st verse--"whisper you name..."

figure 3--verse 1

G-------------------|--------------------|-----------------|------------------|

D-------------------|--------------------|-----------------|------------------|

E-2--2-2-2-2-3-3--|-0--0-0-0-0-2-3-0-|-2--2-2-2-3--0-|-2--2-2-2-3--0-|

back to figure 1...
