Jupiter Crash

Transcribed by: Andrew Kwame Tay (aktay@zeus.uwaterloo.ca)

From: The Cure – Dream and Silence ()

Key: G

Arrangement: 12-string acoustic, electric, bass

Tab source: video, audio

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 . .

BASIC RHYTHM (Robert varies this, of course):

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . | 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 .

...then:

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . | 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 .

BRIDGE "Meanwhile millions of miles away..."

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

optional:

BASIC RHYTHM:

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . a measure and A7 which completes the measure
