I am told that in order for tab to be included in the FTP site that it must
be e-mailed to you. If this is so, please include this (I thought that you
just plucked everything prefaced "TAB" off the groups). Anyway, here it is:

Rhythm figure 1a
As above, except for measures 5 and six substitute the following second guitar
part:
E---------------------3---|---2-------------------|
B-5--7--5---7--7------5---|---3----5-----3----3--5|
Then begin the vocal "I don't care if Monday's blue..."
with another run-through of rhythm figure 1 underneath.
Repeat this through the second verse "Monday you can fall apart..."
(The book calls this rhythm figure 2 but I can't see any difference).
Chorus ("Saturday, wait...")
(let ring)

(measures 5-8 of rhythm figure 1 (yes, both guitars))
Third verse ("I don't care if Monday's black")
Rhythm figure 1 (both guitars)
Instrumental break
Rhythm figure 1 beneath, both guitars; a third guitar (uncapoed, I think) plays
rhythm figure 3 (more of a lead, actually)
E--------------------|------7------5---------|

Begin 4th verse in that last measure-"Monday you can hold your head..."
along with rhythm figure 1
Chorus again, then the coda ("Dressed up to the eyes...")
Guitar 1 plays measures 5-8 of rhythm figure 1 four times
Guitar 2 plays this underneath:
E---7--7--7/5--5--5--|-5/3--3--3--3/2--2--2-|--2(hold)-----------------|
B--------------------|----------------------|-----------------------5--|
B-------3---2-------------|
G---------------2---------|
last time (beneath "It's Friday I'm in love") play this final measure:
B---------------3---2-----|
G---2---0--------------4--|
Play rhythm figures 1 and 1a twice under 5th verse ("I don't care if Monday's
blue")
On outro play 1 and 1a twice; over the second time add rhythm figure 3
On first repeat end rhythm figure 1, guitar 2, this way:
B-------------3--2-------|
G---2--0-------------4---|
On second repeat end the song in last measure by holding all chords
from measure 7.
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 THE 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.
