This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Here I have posted the complete bass tab to the song "Faith"

by the Cure from the album "Faith."

Words and Music by Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, and Lol

Tolhurst. Transcribed by Caley Barker.

The bass to this song may have been played on a six-string

bass, as many of the songs on "Faith" were, either by Robert

or Simon. I'll just transcribe it as a standard 4-string

bass.

Rhythm figure 1:

 G--7--7--7--5---5--5--5--4--4--4---2--2--2--2-------------

This is the entire bass tab to "Faith." Just listen to the

album to see where each rhythm figure fits in. They go in

the order in which I posted them. Please send any comments
