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-
