"A Forest" by The Cure--bassline

from 1980's 'Seventeen Seconds' & 1985's 'Staring at the Sea--The Singles' albums
This song never sounded so good until I heard it at the club, & noticed the bassline. Very simple, but don't play it heavy.

figure 1--wait after guitar; he might change some things, but this is the basic outline, so do whatever you hear

G---------------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------|
D---------------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------|
A----0-0-----0-0--0-|-3-3---0-3-3------|-------------0-|-5-5--0-5-5-|
E-3-------3-----------|----------------0-|-1-1--0-1-1----|-------------|

figure 2--chorus; he does something else in the last measure

G---------------------|---------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
D---------------------|---------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
A-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-|-3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3-|---------------------|-3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3-|
E---------------------|---------------------|-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-|---------------------|

G---------------------|---------------------|----------------------|-------------------|
D---------------------|---------------------|----------------------|-------------------|

E---------------------|---------------------|-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-|-1-1-1-1--1-1-1-1-|

at the end, he does something like this, but don't slide too loud at all
