FASCINATION STREET
(words by Robert Smith, music by Porl Thompson, Simon Gallup, Boris
Williams, Laurence Tolhurst, Roger O-Donnel, and Robert Smith)


I am actually transcribing the extended version of Fascination Street that
appears on -Mixed Up-. Although I like the original version, I find this
version more fun to play around with. I have not put anything in order,
all I did was to transcribe the millions of riffs there are to this song.
I have not transcribed the solo, though. The chords are mainly Cm, Ab, Gm,
which is played during the verses by that clean guitar. Here are the riffs
though:

This is the riff that opens up the song and appears near the end of the
song:

E ------------------------------------|
B -----4-------4------4------1---3----|
G -2-3-----2-3----2-3----2-3--------3-|
D ------------------------------------|
A ------------------------------------|
E ------------------------------------|


After this riff is played three times, the keyboard riff that appears is:

E -------3--------3----------------------3--------3--6--6-6-6--4--3--|
B -4--6-----4--6-----4--1--1--1--4-4--6-----4--6---------------------|
G -------------------------------------------------------------------|
D -------------------------------------------------------------------|
A -------------------------------------------------------------------|
E -------------------------------------------------------------------|


This is played two times, then the drums come in and then a weird effect
appears, I think it is harmonics played like:

E ----------------------------------------------|
B --7-7--7--7-7--7-7---5--5-5--5--5--5-5-5-
