Cold (words by Robert Smith, music by Simon Gallup, Laurence Tolhurst, and Robert Smith) This gloomy song comes off of the angry and gloomy cure album -Pornography- and never lets up for air. I am not too sure about what is playing that line, a distorted bass, guitar, or keyboard but I have comprised it to be like this: I play this usual, meaning I tune my low E-string down to C. The intro is: E -------------------- B -------------------- G -------------------- D -----------4-------- A -1---3--4------4--3- C --------------------
After this, the drum enters, and the bass (or guitar) goes like this (as if played on a guitar with its low string tuned to C): E ------------------------------- B ------------------------------- G ------------------------------- D ------------------------------- A ------------------------------- C -10---------8--5--6-------0--1- This line continues out throughout the song. The chords are simple, they are just Bbm to Gb and I play them like this: Bbm Gb E -xx---------------6------------ B -11---------------7------------ G -10---------------6------------ D -11---------------x------------ A -xx---------------x------------ C -10---------8--5--6-------0--1- That is basically how the song goes. The lyrics are:
