CURE - "charlotte sometimes" Tablature

"Charlotte Sometimes"--bassline--by the Cure from "Staring at the Sea--The Singles"
This bassline is interesting cuz it's constantly moving & the pattern changes somewhat unexpectedly, but once you learn it, it comes along alot easier. The pattern may be hard to follow, so just learn the figures first, then listen to the song a few times, & then try & fit in the patterns. I hope I have all the strokes right, there might be a couple more strokes missing, but all the notes should be right.

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.
