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:
