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

Screw

(by Robert Smith)

This is a song off of -The Head On The Door-, an album in which Robert

Smith wrote all the tracks by himself. The guitar riff is quite simple

and it oscillates between strings (if there is such a thing).

The basic riff is:

E ----------------------------------------|
B ----------------------------------------|
G ----------------------------------------|
D ----------------------------------------|
A -------------------------------------5--|
E --3---1---0---1--3---3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5----|

There is also a part in the song where the riff changes, it goes unto a

different string like this:

E ----------------------------------------|
B ----------------------------------------|
G ----------------------------------------|
D -------------------------------------5--|
A --3---1---0---1--3---3-5-3-5-3-5-3-5----|
E ----------------------------------------|

There is also another part of the song where the riff goes on the D string,

which I will not get into at this time as you may see the point of this.

And that is basically it.
