The Cure – Friday I’m in Love (Tab)
I had to break protocol for this one so I could post The Cure’s Friday I’m in Love on a friday.
Intro: There’s an odd start to the song with the first note coming in on the “and” of 1. If the listener is unfamiliar with the song, it can throw them off.
After the opening lick, it’s into some straight-forward strumming with a few picked notes thrown in.
Verse: The first two verses are simple, with all familiar chord shapes in the first position. The third and fourth verses are a bit more tricky since they incorporate a high note on the A-string, fifth fret.
Chorus: The trickiest part is going from the riff at the end of the verse to G chord with the high D note. If you’re struggling, you can just strum out the A chord in bar 17.
Solo: The solo has a lot of moves up and down the neck. But there’s nothing too fancy to trip you up.
Bridge: This is the hardest section to play. You’re up at the fifth fret and it gets a bit fiddly. That’s one reason I halved its length.
