This is my
way to play the chords:
B E G
F# A C
F D
E------0-----0-----3-----9-----5-----8-----1----10--
B------0-----0-----0-----9-----5-----8-----1----10--
G------8-----9-----0----11-----6-----9-----2----11--
D------9-----9-----0----11-----7----10-----3----12--
A------9-----7-----2-----9-----7----10-----3----12--
E-----(7)---(7)----3-----9-----5-----8-----1----19--
Hints: use
chorus, reverb, echo, and Ebows to get it to sound like the
record.
Or just have fun with it.

is very approximate - repeat 2x-|

just repeat
something similar to the above intro stuff with the rest of
the band until
the vocals come in, then play the chords written above
the lyrics.
with over 40 guitar tracks on this song alone, the best
thing we can
hope to do is approximate it -- hell, on stage, the
Pumpkins only
have two guitarists.

[for the vocals, play something similar to the intro w/lead part]
B
E G
nothing left
to say
B
E G
and all i've
left to do
B
E G
is run away
from you
B E
and she let
me on down
G
B E
with secrets
i can't keep
[play that
lead part here for the next 4 lines]
G
B E
close your
eyes and sleep
G
B E
don't wait
up for me
G
B E G
hush now don't
you speak to me
[crank up the
mellotron here...]
B
E G
wrapped my
hurt in you
B
E
G
and took my
shelter in that pain
B
E G
the opiate
of blame
B E
G
is your broken
heart heart your heart
[lead w/Mike
Mills on piano, playing the chords]
B E G
so now i'm
all by myself
B
E G
as i've always
felt
B E G
and i'll betray
my tears
B E G
F#
to anyone
caught in our ruse of fools
B
F#
one last kiss
for me yeah
B
one last kiss
G
good night
[solo1] play E G A F# under solo1
Okay, the amazing
thing about this solo -- and I shit you not -- is that
not only is
it on an acoustic guitar (!) driven by an Ebow (!!), but
there are
FOURTEEN studio tracks of it! (!!!) So don't worry if this
isn't exact.
