The Cure - Boys Don’t Cry

This one is incredibly late for the Ukulele Tribute to The Cure. I’m amazed no one did a cover of this as it works very well on the uke.

For those who thought my version of Don’t Fear the Reaper needed more cowbell.

UPDATE: Grant Lee Phillips used a uke in his cover of the tune (Thanks to Anna for the heads up).

If this is your first visit here, you can find the chords/tab in those posts by clicking on the song title in red.

    cbf: No, I had to Google b3ta to check what it was (I have been there before).

    brian: Good luck with it. There’s nothing to complicated in there.

    Probably this has been posted before but I was strolling on ebay and found a 25,000 US$ Martin 5K.

    I don’t know about ukes but I guess it has to be the best ukulele ever made because… 25000$???

    I was just thinking about learning this song. Or maybe Love Cats…

    love cats without bass is like sugar free cola, MORALLY WRONG!

    Granted, it’s not a solely ukulele cover but you should check out the version Grant Lee Phillips did of this song on his “Nineteeneighties” album…definitely some uke in there. Great work and awesome riff! I always look forward to more great stuff here!

    newbie: Thanks for the link. If I remember correctly, they had a few guitars up for sale at extortionate prices as well. I’d say the real value of it is about half the asking price.

    ukulelezo: I look forward to hearing whichever one you choose.

    cbf: She could pull it off.

    Isaac: It certainly is. This is easily my favourite Cure song.

    Anna: Thanks for that. I’ll add a link to the post.

Got something to say?
