Subject: All Cats Are Grey by The Cure
all cats are grey
by robert smith, simon gallup, and laurence tolhurst
i am too paranoid to transcribe the keyboard chords to this song because i
am not too sure if they are keyboard chords, so instead i will do the
simple bass line. i think the keyboard plays the bass line (of course
with long gloom), but i am just not too sure about that. i do not know.
so without futher adieu here is the bass tab for that it.
this is the basic verse:
G -4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---------------------------------
D ---------------------------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
A -----------------------------------------------------------------
E -----------------------------------------------------------------
the alternate part (or chorus is)
G -----------------------------------------------------------------
D -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-
A -----------------------------------------------------------------
E -----------------------------------------------------------------
(after this part the bass plays:
G -----------------
D -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
A -----------------
E -----------------
this goes on I think four times after the chorus. it also goes on forever
at the end of the song, then finishes for that grand piano ending.
the lyrics, i assume are:
i never thought that i would find myself
dead amongst the stars
the colours are all red
begging to crush me
no shapes sail on the dark deep lakes
and no flags wave me home
in the caves
all cats are grey
in the caves
the textures coat my skin
in the death cell
a single note
rings on and on and on
(i really am not sure about those lyrics, so it may be left open to
interpretations. bye-bye for now).
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CURE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
