Here is the complete bass tab to "A Forest" from the album
"Seventeen Sedonds" by the Cure. I worked several hours
straight perfecting it so it's totally accurate. Music by
Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, and Lol Tolhurst. Transcribed by
Caley Barker.

Here's how the structure of the song is with all the rhythm
figures put together:
Rhy. fig. 1: 10x
Rhy. fig. 2: 1x
Rhy. fig. 1: 8x
Rhy. fig. 2: 1x
Rhy. fig. 1: 8x
Rhy. fig. 2: 1x
Rhy. fig. 1: 4x
Rhy. fig. 3: 4x
Rhy. fig. 4: 7x
Rhy. fig. 5: 1x
This is the entire b-tab to "A Forest." The the two C's
beginning rhythm figure 2 two are kind of subtle and act as
a change to the chorus. I hope this is one of the most
thourough and accurate bass tabs you've ever seen. Please
