Where the Birds Always Sing

The Cure
Bass Tab

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

I have to give Robert Smith some credit for this one, as i figured out the bassline

with help from the guitar tab he put on the official page. the only part i don't know

is the solo. Simon plays something different under it, and i haven't figured out what

it is. if you know, send it in!
