Subject: Fascination Street by The Cure
FАSСINАТIОN STREET
(words by Robert Smith, music by Porl Thompson, Simon Gallup, Boris
Williams, Laurence Tolhurst, Roger О-Donnel, and Robert Smith)
I am actually transcribing the extended version of Fascination Street that
appears on -Mixed Up-. Although I like the original version, I find this
version more fun to play around with. I have not put anything in order,
all I did was to transcribe the millions of riffs there are to this song.
I have not transcribed the solo, though. The chords are mainly Cm, Ab, Gm,
which is played during the verses by that clean guitar. Here are the riffs
though:
This is the riff that opens up the song and appears near the end of the
song:
E ————————————|
B —–4——-4——4——1—3—-|
G -2-3—–2-3—-2-3—-2-3——–3-|
D ————————————|
A ————————————|
E ————————————|
After this riff is played three times, the keyboard riff that appears is:
E ——-3——–3———————-3——–3–6–6-6-6–4–3–|
B -4–6—–4–6—–4–1–1–1–4-4–6—–4–6———————|
G ——————————————————————-|
D ——————————————————————-|
A ——————————————————————-|
E ——————————————————————-|
This is played two times, then the drums come in and then a weird effect
appears, I think it is harmonics played like:
E ———————————————-|
B –7-7–7–7-7–7-7—5–5-5–5–5–5-5-5-
