I figured this out so it could be played solo on an acoustic guitar. The actual recording is tuned down a half step to Eb (as was the style at the time) but it can be played in standard tuning just as well. INTRO: (At it's most basic, it's these 2 chords...) Gm Em Gm Em Gm Em (Then this figure just before getting into the verse...or a Gm chord works fine too) e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|--------------------------| A|----0--1--2--1--0---------| E|-3-----------------3--0---| VERSE: Here's an easy way to jump from Gm to Bb. You can let the high e string ring for all the chords as an option; gives it more of that doom sound. Em Gm Bb e|-0-------------0-------0----| B|-0-------------3-------3----| G|-0-------------3-------3----| D|-2-------------0-------0----| A|-2-------------x-------1----| E|-0-------------3------------| Em Gm Bb The sewers belch me up Em Gm Bb The heavens spit me out Em Gm Bb Em From ethers tragic, I am born again Gm Em And now I'm with you now Gm Em Inside your world of wow Gm Em To move in desires made of C6 Fmaj7b5 Em deadly pretends... Till the C6 Fmaj7b5 Em end times begin (Ok, those were some weird chords, so I'll tab them out...) C6 Fmaj7b5 Em e|-0--------0---------0-------| B|-1--------0---------0-------| G|-2--------2---------0-------| D|-x--------3---------2-------| A|-3--------3---------2-------| E|----------1---------0-------| CHORUS: Am Em Is it bright where you are? Have the people changed? D Am Does it make you happy you're so strange? Am Em And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame D Am Em You can watch the world devoured in it's pain (You can do this little run...or just play Gm to Em like the intro) Gm Em Gm e|---------------------------0---------------------------------| B|---------------------------0---------------------------------| G|---------------------------0---------------------------------| D|---------------------------2---------------------------------| A|----0--1--2--1--0----------2-------------0--1--2--1--0-------| E|-3-----------------3--0----0----------3-----------------3--0-| Strange......... VERSE 2: [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/smashing-pumpkins/262639.html ] Em Gm Bb Climb my ribcage too Em Gm Bb The replays run for you Em Gm Bb Em Unhook my lights to peek behind the flash Gm Em For I am crystal chrome Gm Em And I am shattered dome Gm Em And I am kremlin king of C6 Fmaj7b5 Em angels avenged... To C6 Fmaj7b5 Em destroy the end CHORUS: Am Em Is it bright where you are? Have the people changed? D Am Does it make you happy you're so strange? Am Em And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame D Am Em You can watch the world devoured in it's pain BRIDGE: (This part's a little tricky; requires some simple fingerpicking. But here's the tab...) Bb9 F9 G9 F9 C9 Bb9 e|-8-------3-------5-------1------1-----|------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------|-3-----3-----3----1-----1-----1-----| G|------0-------0-------0------0-----0--|----0-----0----------0-----0--------| D|--------------------------------------|------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------|-3-----3-----3----1-----1-----1-----| E|-6-------1-------3-------1------1- ---|------------------------------------| (PLAY 3X) (PLAY 1X) Gm Am Gm Am Gm Am Bb Ahhh......... Ahhh..... Ahhh....... Ahhh...... Ahhh.... Ahhh... Ahhhhhhhh!! (Then back to the INTRO again, like you mean it!) Em Gm Bb The zeppelins rain upon us Em Gm Bb The guns of love disastrous Em Gm Bb A shadow lies amongst you Em Gm Bb To defy the future cast CHORUS: Am Em Is it bright where you are? Have the people changed? D Am Does it make you happy you're so strange? Am Em And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame D Am Em You can watch the world devoured in it's pain (Then this thing again to the end...or just play Gm to Em as in the intro) e|---------------------------0---------------------------------| B|---------------------------0---------------------------------| G|---------------------------0---------------------------------| D|---------------------------2---------------------------------| A|----0--1--2--1--0----------2-------------0--1--2--1--0-------| E|-3-----------------3--0----0----------3-----------------3--0-| Strange......... |
