The Cure - Dressing up

From: Winston Campbell <jieuryli@eden.rutgers.edu> Subject: DRESSING UP by The Cure Dressing Up (words & music by Robert Smith) I love this song, any time I hear it, I think of my friend Annita for some reason (I have only known her a couple months). Anyway, I am transcribing the -Paris- version of the song. It really does not make that much of a difference since I have heard the original and it sounds exactly like the -Paris- version. I broke the song up into two riffs like these: Riff 1 (the tantalizing keyboard riff): Bm C D E5 Em E --------2-3-2----------|------2-3-2-------|--------------|--------------| B ----0-3-------3-0-0-0--|--0-3-------3-0---|--------------|--------------| G -----------------------|------------------|--------------|--------------| D -----------------------|------------------|---2---0--2---|-5--2--0--2---| A -2---------------------|------------------|--------------|------------2-| E -----------------------|------------------|-0------------|--------------| Riff 2 (The spine-tingling duo notes): C Bm C Bm E ---3---2--3---5---|-2--------|---3---2--3---5---|-2--------| B ---5---3--5---7---|-3--------|---5---3--5---7---|-3--------| G ------------------|----------|------------------|----------| D ------------------|----------|------------------|----------| A ------------------|----------|------------------|----------| E ------------------|----------|------------------|----------| Those are basically the riffs with the chords on top. The lyrics are: I usually play the chords like this: E A D G B E ----------- Bm x 2 4 4 3 2 C x 3 5 5 5 x D x 5 7 7 7 x E5 x 7 9 9 x x Em 0 2 2 0 0 0 Bb 6 8 8 7 x x A 5 7 7 6 x x G 3 2 0 0 3 3 F 1 3 3 2 1 1 (And that is all for now- Adios)
