Biografía:
La formación original de la banda, entonces Easy Cure, nació en un colegio de Crawley, una ciudad construida sobre los escombros que dejó la guerra en un pequeño pueblo en el corazón de la campiña del sur de Inglaterra. Aunque Easy Cure había surgido como una banda de punk, para cuando simplificaron su nombre a The Cure, la creciente fascinación de Robert Smith por los temas oscuros y opresivos, ya se había unido a su habilidad para canalizar esas ideas en canciones apasionadamente evocadoras

“100 YEARS”
Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1982
Tabbed by: Winston Campbell
Main Riff: Cm, B
It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Going home time
A story on the radio
Something small falls out of your mouth
And we laugh
A prayer for something better
A prayer for something better
Please love me
Meet my mother
But the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow
Bridge: Bb
Waiting for the death blow
Waiting for the death blow
Repeat Main Riff: Cm, B
Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
Fighting for freedom on the television
Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
Have we got everything?
She struggles to get away
The pain and the creeping feeling
A little black haired girl
Waiting for Saturday
The death of her father pushing her
Pushing her white face into the mirror
Aching inside me
And turn me around
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Bridge: Bb
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Caressing an old man
And painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance
Under a black flag
A hundred years of blood
Crimson
The ribbon tightens round my throat
I open my mouth
And my head bursts open
A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water
Thrashing in the water
Over and over
We die one after the other
Over and over
We die one after the other
Bridge: Bb
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
Crd: Gb
It feels like a hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
One hundred years

Wearing furs and masks...

Into the walls
Jump jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals die
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden

“SIAMESE TWINS”
Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1982
Tabbed by: graph_sas
Am F Dm7 F }*4
Am F Dm7 F
I chose an eternity of this
Am F Dm7 F
Like falling angels the world disappeared
Am F Dm7 F
Laughing into the fire, is it always like this ?
Am F
Flesh and blood and the first kiss
Dm7 F
The first colors the first kiss.
Am F Dm7 F }*2
(repeat Am F Dm7 F throughout the verse)
We writhed under a red light
Voodoo smile, siamese twins
Girl at the window looks at me for an hour
Then everything falls apart
Broken inside me, it falls apart.
C Dm7 Am
The walls and the ceiling move in time
C Dm7
Push a blade into my hands, slowly up the stairs
Em
And into the room
Em
Is it always like this ?
Am Fmaj7
Dancing in my pocket
Am Fmaj7
Worms eat my skin
Am Fmaj7
She glows and grows with arms outstretched
E7
Her legs around me, in the morning I cried.
Am F Dm7 F }*4
(repeat Am F Dm7 F)
Leave me to die, you won't remember my voice
I walked away and grew old
You never talk, we never smile
I scream you're nothing
And I don't need you anymore
You're nothing
It fades and spins
Fades and spins.
C Dm7 Am
Sing out loud we all die
C Dm7
Laughing into the fire
Em Bb
Is it always like this ?
Em Bb
Is it always like this ?
No Chord
Is it always like this ?

“A STRANGE DAY”
Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1982
Tabbed by: Mario Dorion SSE Sun Montreal
A B G
Give me your eyes that I can see
A B G
The blind man kissing my hands
The sun is humming
My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees
As he plays on his knees
F G
And the sand and the sea glows I close my eyes
F G
Move slowly through drowning waves
A B
Going away on a strange day
And I laugh as I drift in the wind
Blind
Dancing on a beach of stone
Cherish the faces as they wait for the end
Sudden hush across the water
And we're here again
And the sand
And the sea grows
I close my eyes
Move slowly through drowning waves
Going away
On a strange day
F G
And the sand and the sea glows I close my eyes
F G
Move slowly through drowning waves
A B
Going away on a strange day
E F
My head falls back and the walls crashed in
G A
And the sky and the impossible explodes
B C
And for one moment I remember a song
D
An expression of sounds
E
And the everything is gone forever

“PORNOGRAPHY”
Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1982
Tabbed by: graph_sas
The basics chords are:
Dm, Bb, A, Bb
A hand in my mouth
A life spills into the flowers
We all look so perfect
As we fall down
In a n electric glare
The old man cracks with age
She found his last picture
In the ashes of the fire
An image of the queen
Echoes round the sweating bed
Sour yellow sounds inside my head
In books
And films
And in life
And in heaven
The sound of slaughter
As your body turns
But it’s too late
The Brigde chords are:
F#m, G (x3)
F#m, F
One more day like today and I’ll kill you
A desire for flesh
And real blood
And I’ll watch you drown in the shower
Pushing my life through your open eyes
I must fight this sickness
Find a cure...

“100 YEARS”
Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1982
Tabbed by: Winston Campbell
Main Riff: Cm, B
It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Going home time
A story on the radio
Something small falls out of your mouth
And we laugh
A prayer for something better
A prayer for something better
Please love me
Meet my mother
But the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow
Bridge: Bb
Waiting for the death blow
Waiting for the death blow
Repeat Main Riff: Cm, B
Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
Fighting for freedom on the television
Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
Have we got everything?
She struggles to get away
The pain and the creeping feeling
A little black haired girl
Waiting for Saturday
The death of her father pushing her
Pushing her white face into the mirror
Aching inside me
And turn me around
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Bridge: Bb
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Caressing an old man
And painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance
Under a black flag
A hundred years of blood
Crimson
The ribbon tightens round my throat
I open my mouth
And my head bursts open
A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water
Thrashing in the water
Over and over
We die one after the other
Over and over
We die one after the other
Bridge: Bb
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
Crd: Gb
It feels like a hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
One hundred years

Laughing into the fire, is it always like this ?

Flesh and blood and the first kiss

The first colors the first kiss.
Am F Dm7 F }*2

We writhed under a red light
Voodoo smile, siamese twins
Girl at the window looks at me for an hour
Then everything falls apart
Broken inside me, it falls apart.

The walls and the ceiling move in time
C Dm7
Push a blade into my hands, slowly up the stairs
Em
And into the room
Em
Is it always like this ?

Leave me to die, you won't remember my voice
I walked away and grew old
You never talk, we never smile
I scream you're nothing
And I don't need you anymore
You're nothing
It fades and spins
Fades and spins.
C Dm7 Am
Sing out loud we all die
C Dm7
Laughing into the fire
Em Bb
Is it always like this ?
Em Bb
Is it always like this ?
No Chord
Is it always like this ?

“A STRANGE DAY”
Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1982
Tabbed by: Mario Dorion SSE Sun Montreal
A B G
Give me your eyes that I can see
A B G
The blind man kissing my hands
The sun is humming
My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees
As he plays on his knees
F G
And the sand and the sea glows I close my eyes
F G
Move slowly through drowning waves
A B
Going away on a strange day
And I laugh as I drift in the wind
Blind
Dancing on a beach of stone
Cherish the faces as they wait for the end
Sudden hush across the water
And we're here again
And the sand
And the sea grows
I close my eyes
Move slowly through drowning waves
Going away
On a strange day
F G
And the sand and the sea glows I close my eyes
F G
Move slowly through drowning waves
A B
Going away on a strange day
E F
My head falls back and the walls crashed in
G A
And the sky and the impossible explodes
B C
And for one moment I remember a song
D
An expression of sounds
E
And the everything is gone forever

SYNTH PROGRESSION CHORDS: C, C#, A#, G#, F, F#
GUITAR PROGRESSION CHORDS: Bm, G
Bm
Scarred
Your back was turned
G
Curled like an embryo
Bm
Take another face
G
You will be kissed again
Bm
I was cold as I mouthed the words
G
And crawled across the mirror
Bm
I wait
Await the next breath
G
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Main Riff: Bm, G (x2)
Bm
A shallow grave
G
A monument to the ruined age
Bm
Ice in my eyes
G
And eyes like ice don't move
Bm
Screaming at the moon
G Bm
Another past time
G
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Main Riff: Bm, G (x2)
Repeat the progression chord through the verse:
Everything as cold as life
Can no one save you?
Everything
As cold as silence
And you never say a word
Your name
Like ice into my heart (x2)

“PORNOGRAPHY”
Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1982
Tabbed by: graph_sas
The basics chords are:
Dm, Bb, A, Bb
A hand in my mouth
A life spills into the flowers
We all look so perfect
As we fall down
In a n electric glare
The old man cracks with age
She found his last picture
In the ashes of the fire
An image of the queen
Echoes round the sweating bed
Sour yellow sounds inside my head
In books
And films
And in life
And in heaven
The sound of slaughter
As your body turns
But it’s too late
The Brigde chords are:
F#m, G (x3)
F#m, F
One more day like today and I’ll kill you
A desire for flesh
And real blood
And I’ll watch you drown in the shower
Pushing my life through your open eyes
I must fight this sickness
Find a cure...
