In terms of chord progressions, the song is quite simple. Thus you won’t be fretting a whole lot of barre chords.

The song is in the guitar-friendly Key of D major. You can learn to play the complete Friday I’m in Love by The Cure with guitar chords, lyrics and a strumming trainer directly in the Uberchord app. I personally believe such “mistakes” make a song stick out and catch the listener’s attention. After some research I found out why: Robert Smith forgot to turn off the vari-speed on the tape that was used to record the song. This song is peculiar to me as the tuning of the instruments in the album is a bit higher than usual, hence the D sounds almost like Eb. Just like Paul did, Robert would call people he knew and would ask them if the song sounded familiar to them. Quite alike Paul McCartney and “Yesterday”, Robert Smith (singer and guitar player for The Cure) was unsure about the chord progression/melody of “Friday I am in love” was truly his. Nonetheless, the song went on to become a worldwide hit, just like the album it was part of, Wish, which remains The Cure’s most commercially successful album. The Cure is usually associated with gloomy, melancholic rock, and as such, the vibe of Friday, I’m in Love is quite a typical for this British band’s sound.
