Disintegration - The Cure
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Gallagher2006
Tuning: Standard
It’s a pretty easy song, but still one of the Cures best.
Intro Guitar:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--11/-7v--/9v--/11v----x4--------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--9/--5v--/7v--/9v---------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then there’s a variation that goes along with the keyboard riff
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--17/16v----14/-12v----11/7---x2-------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--15/14v----12/-10v----9-/5------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
This is actually played on keyboard, but it’s easy enough to play on guitar
e|--8--7------5-------------------------0----0~~----0---0~~----0---0~~~------|
B|----------------8-----7--3--x3------3---3-------3---3------3---3-----------|

Verse riff on the guitar:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/c/cure/37273.html ]
e|---5----5----5--------------------------------------------------10---------|
B|-------------------7-----7-----7------12------12----12-----12--------12----|
G|-----5----5----5-------5-----5---5---------9------9-----9-----9----9----9--|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
These are all the riffs that appear in the recorded version...
Here are a few that are only in live renditions...
I think Robert Smith usually plays this in the intro, and at various other
interludes
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---5--5-5-5-5-------5--5-5-5-5---------------------------------------------|
E|--------------3-r--------------3-r etc-------------------------------------|
Variation of main riff:
e|---5----5----5--------------------------------------------------10---12/---|
B|-------------------7-----7-----7------12------12----12-----12--------------|
G|-----5----5----5-------5-----5---5---------9------9-----9-----9----9-------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Smiths guitar “Solo” with reverb/delay during the live key change from
C to B
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---4v--5v-/-7v----4v--5-/-7-v--etc ----------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
And that’s pretty much it.
Enjoy
