The Cure's "Fascination Street"

An acoustic version of one of my favorite songs from the Cure.
Below are the basic chords and bass line that I use in this version.
Hope it helps! :)
"Fascination Street"
General Chord Progression:
||: Am / / / | Am / / / | Fsus2 / / / | Em / / G :||
Am

Fsus2
X3301X
Em
022000
G
3X0003
Bass Line (approximation):
||: a / / c | a / / b | f / / d | e / / g :||
Wherever possible I try to incorporate bits of the bass line into the chord progression to make it feel more like the song.
I also use a 5th fret-based Am6 (X05578) to simulate instrumental bridge melody.
Hope this helps!

Thank you Ant Dean!

[@jmoney4839]

Is that an Epiphone

[@JohnHenrySheridan]

Hey J, it's actually an Angélica. Never heard of it before myself. My friends salvaged it from his neighbor's garbage pail and it has become one of my main axes...! :)

[@pacocascant7391]

Hay que ensayar mas

[@JohnHenrySheridan]

Gracias @Paco Cascant !

Good cover but less talking more playing. An entire minute goes by until we heard the actual song.

[@Seafarer-Ade]

[@driver5317]
