Apart-The Cure

Main riff:
(with flanger and slow echo)
(let ring for another measure)

E-------------------------------|
B-------------------------------|
G-----------2---0h2-------------|
D-------------------------------|
A-------0-----------------------|
E---5---------------------------|

Repeat this constantly (i.e., every other measure)

Synth line adapted for guitar:

One measure each of a swell on the following chords:
Am--221-
G --000-
Dm--323-
Am (same)

then this riff
B----5---5---5---6---------5--|-------3-------5--------3------|

B-------------3------5--------|-------------------------------|
G----5------------------------|--------5----------------------|

At the end of the first verse play the following fill (mixed low)

Dm---312 (four measures)
(strum pattern is easy enough to figure out; precision isn't important here
anyway. Vary it a bit by not sounding all three notes; also, in the fourth
measure play a slide up to the 5th fret of the high E string)
Repeat, but play this for fourth measure:

E (high)------3/5---5-----5-----5

In second verse, play this fill at the line "He waits to hear her say 'forget'"

(let ring throughout)
E----------0---------------|------------3------------|
B----3--------3------3-----|------3--------3-----3---|
G-2-----2---------2-----2--|--0------0--------0----0-|

Then repeat first measure twice. Repeat.

Play this fill underneath chorus
(you do not play the main riff here)
