?OTHER VOICES?

The Tab part tabbed by: Winston Campbell [[email protected]]
After waiting such a long time for some one to transcribe this song, I just
decided to figure it out by myself. I tried doing that months ago and
failed. But this time around it was not as hard as I thought it was.
Basically (maybe skipping notes), but basically this is how I play it:
The strange intro is something like this:
The bass riff starts out as:
Riff 1:
The double lines means that you must repeat the riff ending and starting at
the double lines (you are not supposed to play those first two intro notes
again). This riff (within the double lines) is repeated seven times, then
you play:
You play Riff 1 again throughout the verse. Now, this is the part that may
not be accurate: the guitar tablature. I am sure I am pretty close, this is
how I play the guitar part during the verse:
If you listen to how the guitar is played, you will get the idea. Now, this
song, believe it or not, has two choruses. The first chorus comes after the
first verse (obviously). The bass for it (and I am not perfect on this) is:
Chorus 1 Bass Riff:
This is played four times. It is good to slip that A note for the last time
when going back into Riff 1 for the second verse. The guitar part for Riff 2
is:
Guitar Riff 1A:
Guitar Riff 1B:
You play Guitar Riff 1A three times, then you play Guitar Riff 2B once. You
can play around a bit, especially at the F# to Em part. The second chorus
goes something like this:
You play this three times, and on the fourth time, you play only half of it.
Listen to the tape or CD and you will know what I mean. Anyway, the guitar
for that part is:
Like the bass, repeat this three times and then play half of it. The song
ends with Riff 1 repeating and there are inaudible sounds of the intro going.
I hope this has helped. It may not be perfect and maybe you can formulate
your own transcription of it or whatever. By the way, here are the lyrics:
The Chords part, tabbed by: graph_sas [[email protected]]
[Bm] [F#m] [A] [Bm]
W[A]hisper your name in an empty room
[Bm] [F#m] [A] [Bm]
Y[A]ou brush past my skin as soft as fur
[Bm]Taking hold[F#m] I t[A]aste your s[Bm]cent[F#m][A]
[Bm]Distant noises[F#m] [A] of [Bm]other voices[F#m][A]
[F#m]Pounding in my b[A]roken head[F#m][Gm][F#m][Gm]
[F#m] [A] [F#m] [Gm]
[Gm]Commit the sin, commit yourself
[F#m] [A] [F#m] [Gm]
[Gm]And all the other voices said
[F#m] [A] [F#m] [Gm][A]
[Gm]Cha[A]nge [Bm]your m[F#m]ind [A]you're always wrong
(always wrong)
Repeat the main riff through the Verse: [Bm, F#m, A]
Come around at christmas I really have to see you
smile at me slyly Another festive compromise
But i live with desertion and eight million people
Distant noises, other voices
Repeat the bridge chords: [F#m, A, F#m, Gm]
Pulsing in my swinging arms
Caress the sound, so many dead
and all the other voices sing
change your mind You're always wrong
(Wrong...)

Across the water

Fills her [Bb]frozen body

The [Bb]memories fade
And leave her eyes
Still s[G]eeing worlds that [F#]never were

And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Repeat Riff 2: [G, F#, Bb] x 2
[Dm]Starting at the v[Em]iolent sound
She t[Bb]ries to turn
But final
Noiseless
[Dm]Slips and strikes her [Em]soft dark head
The [Bb]water bows
Receives her
And d[G]rowns her at its [F#]ease[Bb]
D[G]rowns her at its [F#]ease[Bb]

The [Dm]fleeting shapes so [Em]many years a[Bb]go
So young and beautiful and brave
[G]Everything was t[F#]rue
It couldn't [Bb]be a story
I w[G]ish it was all t[F#]rue
I wish it c[Bb]ouldn't be a story
The [Dm]words all left me

Hoping

Oh F[Dm]ushia[Em]
You leave me
Bb G, F#, Bb
Breathing like the drowning man

?OTHER VOICES?
Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1981
Tabbed by: Winston Campbell & graph_sas
The Tab part tabbed by: Winston Campbell [[email protected]]
After waiting such a long time for some one to transcribe this song, I just
decided to figure it out by myself. I tried doing that months ago and
failed. But this time around it was not as hard as I thought it was.
Basically (maybe skipping notes), but basically this is how I play it:
The strange intro is something like this:
e -------------0--0------------|
B -0--0--7-----5--5--------0---|
G -4--4--4-----------6-----4---|
D -----------------------------|
A -----------------------------|
E -----------------------------|
The bass riff starts out as:
Riff 1:
e-------||-----------------|---------------------||
G ------||-----------------|---------------------||
D -4----||----------0------|---------------------||
A ----0-||-2--2-2-2--------|-------------------0-||
E ------||---------------0-|-2--2-2-2-3--2--0----||
The double lines means that you must repeat the riff ending and starting at
the double lines (you are not supposed to play those first two intro notes
again). This riff (within the double lines) is repeated seven times, then
you play:
e------------------|---------------------|-----------------|
G -----------------|---------------------|-----------------|
D ----------0------|-------------------0-|-2--2-2-2--------|
A -2--2-2-2--------|---------------------|---------------2-|
E ---------------0-|-2--2-2-2-3--2--0----|----------3------|
e----------------------|-----------------|---------------------|
G ---------------------|-----------------|---------------------|
D -------------------0-|-2--2-2-2--------|---------------------|
A -4--4-4-4-5--4--2----|---------------2-|-4--4-4-4-5--4--2--0-|
E ---------------------|----------3------|---------------------|
You play Riff 1 again throughout the verse. Now, this is the part that may
not be accurate: the guitar tablature. I am sure I am pretty close, this is
how I play the guitar part during the verse:
e ----------------------|---------------------|
B ----------------------|-2--2-2-2/3--3--3--3-|
G -4--4-4-4/7--6-6--6-x-|-3--3-3-3/4--4--4--4-|
D -4--4-4-4/7--7-7--7-x-|-4--4-4-4/5--5--5--5-|
A ----------------------|---------------------|
E ----------------------|---------------------|
If you listen to how the guitar is played, you will get the idea. Now, this
song, believe it or not, has two choruses. The first chorus comes after the
first verse (obviously). The bass for it (and I am not perfect on this) is:
Chorus 1 Bass Riff:
e ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
G ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
D ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
A ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|-----------------||
E ||-2----2--2--2-|-0--0---0--0-|-2--2-2-2-3------|-2--2-2-2-3------||
This is played four times. It is good to slip that A note for the last time
when going back into Riff 1 for the second verse. The guitar part for Riff 2
is:
Guitar Riff 1A:
e ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
B ||-2--2--2--2---|-0-0-0--0--0-|-7--7-7-7-8\7-7-7--7-|-7--7-7-7-8\7-7-7--||
G ||-3--3--3--3---|-0---0--0--0-|-6--6-6-6-7\6-6-6--6-|-6--6-6-6-7\6-6-6--||
D ||-4--4---------|-2------2----|---------------------|-------------------||
A ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
E ||--------------|-------------|---------------------|-------------------||
Guitar Riff 1B:
e --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
B -2--2--2--2---|-0---0--0--0-|-7--7-7-7-8/10-10--10-|-7--7-7-7-8/10-10--10-|
G -3--3--3--3---|-0---0--0--0-|-6--6-6-6-7/-9--9---9-|-6--6-6-6-7/-9--9---9-|
D -4--4-----4---|-2------2----|----------------------|----------------------|
A --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
E --------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
You play Guitar Riff 1A three times, then you play Guitar Riff 2B once. You
can play around a bit, especially at the F# to Em part. The second chorus
goes something like this:
e ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------------------||
G ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------------------||
D ||--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------------------||
A ||-4----4--4--4-|-5--5---5--5-|-----------------|------------------------||
E ||--------------|-------------|-7--7-7-7-5------|-2--2-2-2-3-----0--2--5-||
You play this three times, and on the fourth time, you play only half of it.
Listen to the tape or CD and you will know what I mean. Anyway, the guitar
for that part is:
e ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
B ||-----------|------------|-12--12-12-12\10-10-10-10-|-7--7-7-7/10-10-10-||
G ||-6--6-6--6-|-7-7--7-7-7-|-11--11-11-11\-9--9--9--9-|-6--6-6-6/-9--9--9-||
D ||-6--6-6--6-|-7-7--7-7-7-|--------------------------|-------------------||
A ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
E ||-----------|------------|--------------------------|-------------------||
Like the bass, repeat this three times and then play half of it. The song
ends with Riff 1 repeating and there are inaudible sounds of the intro going.
I hope this has helped. It may not be perfect and maybe you can formulate
your own transcription of it or whatever. By the way, here are the lyrics:

Caress the sound, so many dead

change your mind You're always wrong

Riff 1: [Dm, Em, Bb]
She [Dm]stands twelve feet [Em]above the flood
She [Bb]stares
Alone
Across the water
The l[Dm]oneliness grows and [Em]slowly
Fills her [Bb]frozen body
Sliding downwards

Still s[G]eeing worlds that [F#]never were

And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Repeat Riff 2: [G, F#, Bb] x 2
[Dm]Starting at the v[Em]iolent sound
She t[Bb]ries to turn
But final
Noiseless
[Dm]Slips and strikes her [Em]soft dark head
The [Bb]water bows
Receives her
And d[G]rowns her at its [F#]ease[Bb]
D[G]rowns her at its [F#]ease[Bb]
I [Dm]would have left the [Em]world all bleeding

So young and beautiful and brave
