Wound The Smashing Pumpkins
The acoustic version of Wound from the Machina demos shows how the later Pumpkins albums
actually do have Corgan's best song-writing to date, but they are let down by the
vision in production.
In the demo he is using some open tuning; you'd have to ask the man himself which, but
I've heard theories about something like Drop C.
These chords are an approximation in standard tuning with capo on 3rd.
Gadd9 (3 x 0 2 0 x)
Em7 (0 2 0 0 0 0)
D (x 0 0 2 3 x)
Gadd9 (listen to the track for the pattern, there's a kind of hammer thing from 2 to 4
on the D-string)
[Gadd9]Wound opens reveal a broken man
Soon notions, blood on his hands
Em7 (I just sort of flick from Em7 to Em here, listen to the track again here)
Stop, stop, pop tart
Taste of your [C]demands
If you [Am7]wait, I will wait
If you [Em]taste, I will [D]taste
If you [Am7]run, I will run
If you [Em]love, I will [D]love
To my[Am7] last prayer
[Gadd9]
Tomb opens reveal a stack of gold
Cool poison, the taste of growing old
Sit down, downtown
In your tower of steel
If you [Am7]wait, I will wait
[Em]taste, I will [D]taste
If you [Am7]run, I will run
[Em]love, I will [D]love
To my[Am7] last prayer
My [Em]last praye[D]r
To my[Am7] last prayer
D (in the demo this is some nice inversion in the opening tuning that we can't get here)
[Am7]Wound opens re[Em]veal a broken [D]man
[Am7]Soon notions, [Em]blood on his [D]hands
(the Am chords in this next chorus are different too. I just use Em7 instead of a plain
Em to get a bit of variety here.)
If you [Am7]wait, I will wait
[Em7]taste, I will [D]taste
If you [Am7]run, I will run
[Em7]love, I will [D]love
To my[Am7] last prayer
[Em] [D]
If you [Am7]wait, if you [Em7]wait[D]
If you [Am7]wait, if you [Em7]wait[D]
[Gadd9]
