The Cure é uma lendária e altamente influente banda inglesa de Pós Punk, formada em Sussex, Inglaterra em 1976. A banda já passou por muitas mudanças bruscas, com o guitarrista, vocalista e principal letrista Robert Smith — conhecido pelo ícone que é seu cabelo desarrumado, pele pálida, batom borrado e as frequentes introspectivas e sombrias letras — sendo o único membro constante.
Alcançando grande sucesso em meados da década de 80
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Letter To Elise - The Cure, Wish 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Lia chan Email: [email protected]
E/G# = 422100. You can replace it with a normal E, but it sounds fuller this way. F#m = 244222. (Bar the 2nd fret and use fingers 3 and 4 on your 4th and 5th strings.)
Robert uses a 12-string acoustic guitar but this is for 6-string acoustic. I've never tried it on electric, but it should sound just as good. Listen to the song for strumming patterns. Don't cry at the lyrics and good luck:) If I've made errors, please email me and tell me!
Intro: A, E, F#m, D- one bar (4 beats) of each until lyrics start.
Main Riff- A, E/G#, F#m, D Riff 2: E, F#m Riff 3: G, F#m
(D) (A) (E/G#) Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say (F#) I just can't stay here every yesterday (D) Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out (A) Every way to smile Forget (E/G#) And make-believe we never needed (F#m) Any more than this (D) Any more than this
(same chord pattern): Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do I know I'll never really get inside of you To make your eyes catch fire The way they should The way the blue could pull me in If they only would If they only would At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else That hides away From me and you There're worlds to part With aching looks and breaking hearts And all the prayers your hands can make Oh I just take as much as you can throw And then throw it all away Oh I throw it all away Like throwing faces at the sky Like throwing arms round
(E) Yesterday I stood and stared (F#m) Wide-eyed in front of you (E) And the face I saw looked back (F#m) The way I wanted to (E) But I just can't hold my tears away (F#m) The way you do (G) (F#m) Elise believe I never wanted this (G) (F#m) I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises (G) (F#m) I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about (G) But I let the dream go (F#m) And the promises broke (E) And the make-believe ran out...
During guitar solo: E, F#m E, F#m E, F#m E, D A, E, F#m, D A, E, F#m, D A, E, F#m, D
(back to main riff) So Elise It doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out Every way to smile Forget And make-believe we never needed Any more than this Any more than this
And every time I try to pick it up Like falling sand As fast as I pick it up It runs away through my clutching hands But there's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do At all...
