Fugazi tab for "Give me the Cure"

This interpretation/transcription is by Christoph Borst (mohawk@tamu.edu), 1994
www.xoph.net

At the beginning, it's like this:

---------------------------------
-----3-----2---0-----0-----2---3-
--------------------------------- (repeat many times)
-2-2---2-2---2---2-2---2-2---2---
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
(let ring on most notes)

Note: At one point, the second half of that part is left off.
Also, some chorus or an overdub is added for a while.

Then, it does this:
------- ---
------- and it ends up just ---
-----3- (repeat strumming this -3-
-2-2--- several with crescendo: -2-
------- times) ---
------- ---

Then something like this chord is struck:

-0-
-5-
-4-
-2-
---
---

The second half uses these chords:
(I have not indicated how many times each is struck)
--- --- --- --- ---
--- --- --- --- ---
-7- -6- -4- -6- -7-
-7- -6- -4- -6- -7-
-5- -4- -2- -4- -5-
--- --- --- --- ---
^^
Note: you may want to strike the open E string
or an E chord at the beginning

and again, but with high part added

--- --- --- -------
--- --- --- -------
-7- -6- -4- -8/9\8-
-7- -6- -4- -6/7\6-
-5- -4- -2- -------
--- --- --- -------
^^
Note as above

This riff is thrown in sometimes:
(the last chord is cut from the figure that precedes it)

------------------------ ---
------------------------ ---
------------------------ ---
-5--5--5--5--7--7--7-5-- -2-
-5--5--5--5--7--7--7-5-- -2-
-3--3--3--3--5--5--5-3-- -0-
^^^
This last chord just begins the next figure,
which was given about 30 lines up.



the song approaches its end by varying the previous
riff -- the following is added:

-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
----------------------/\----- (make the last note waver by bending the
-9-----9-10---9-----9//\\---- neck forward or using the whammy bar or
-7-----7--8---7-----7/sl\--0~~ whatever you've got, or you can simulate
it with a bent note one 7th up)


Finally there's a mess during which I just
hold the following chord. I emphasize different tones in
it to make it sound more like the recording, e.g. by hitting just
the open E or A strings sometimes and the other 4 strings other times.

-0-
-5-
-4-
-2-
-0-
-0-
