ARTIST : The Cure
SONG : Plainsong
ALBUM : Disintegration
BASSIST : Simon Gallup

-------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is the tab how I play it, playing over the guitar overlay
on my bass. It sounds beautiful, much like the song. The timings
are easy to hear and to play.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------


MAIN RIFF
---------

When guitar overlay isn\'t present, play this. The slide from fret 15
indicates a slide back to 3, and so on. It sounds really nice if you can
get the slide perfect.

GUITAR OVERLAY
--------------

Each part is obvious when playing along with the song. Sliding to each
following note will create a nice smooth \'progressive sound\'.

IMPROVISION
-----------

This song is easy to add to with your own notes, but obviously at the
right time and in the right time sequence. This is how I play my fills.
