This has to be one of the greatest songs ever written. Anyway, you don't wanna
hear me go on about The Cure (because I can), so here's the tab:

Guitar 1
e----------19-----------19------------------19--------19--------------19--|
B----20-----------------20------------------20------------20--------------|
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
  Let notes ring. A lot of volume swells......

Guitar 2 (comes in after all of the above)

e--------------------------------------------------------------------|

Both guitar parts are over dubbed by 2 more guitars, so that they can play these
parts. So now there's 4 guitars going on, but you can do it with 2....
