Screw
  (by Robert Smith)


This is a song off of -The Head On The Door-, an album in which Robert
Smith wrote all the tracks by himself.  The guitar riff is quite simple
and it oscillates between strings (if there is such a thing).
The basic riff is:

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


There is also a part in the song where the riff changes, it goes unto a
different string like this:

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


There is also another part of the song where the riff goes on the D string,
which I will not get into at this time as you may see the point of this.
And that is basically it.
