Key: G

Accuracy: at least 92%
Like most Cure songs, Jupiter Crash is pretty easy to play. But it is fairly
unusual; the trickiest part was working out the first two chords of the
verse. Thanks go to Erik Pischel (pischel@informatik.hu-berlin.de) for being
the first person to actually get them right, sending me in the right
direction and saving me a lot of effort.
One thing to watch out for: this song is a little weird rhythmically. It's
in 6/8 time, but it's syncopated as if it were in 4/4 time. I suppose one
could argue that it's in 4/4 time with everything in triplets (and I'm
willing to listen to anybody who can argue so or that thinks it's 12/8 or
3/4 or something), but I've tabbed it in 6/8. To illustrate, the diagram
below shows where the accents lie (marked with x) in both times:
x x x x
6/8 (syncopated): 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 .
4/4 (in triplets): 1 . . 2 . . 3 . . 4 . .

I wrote out the chords vertically for clarity. The open high E string is
optional:
