Friday I'm In Love tab by The Cure

Guitar Tab 

Title: Friday I'm In Love
Band: The Cure
Album: Wish (1992)

tabbed by scef (email: funnell_teen_spirit@yahoo.com)

this took me sooo long - I've known the chords for
ages but I've finally cracked the actual tab! You lot
had better be thankful...it was worth it though for
such an amazing song, reminds me of my first love
(aaaah)

to match the recording I do believe there's a capo on
the first fret but it sounds good without it

also I think this is played with 2 guitars, so I've
worked it out for 2...

About this song

"Friday I'm in Love" by The Cure features a catchy guitar riff played by Porl Thompson, using a combination of jangly chords and arpeggios. The song's bright, upbeat feel is enhanced by the use of a chorus pedal on the guitar, giving it a shimmering quality. Bassist Simon Gallup's driving bassline provides a solid foundation for the song's infectious groove. Robert Smith's distinctive vocals and the band's pop sensibilities helped the song become one of The Cure's biggest hits.
