1979 - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Transcribed by Adam Morris
1/2 step down.
INTRO/MAIN RIFF
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-8--8-8-8-8-9--4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------|
|-------------------------------6b-7-4-2-2-2-4-6-9--9-9-| x4
|-6--6-6-6-6-7--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-|
|----0---0---0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------------------------|
Then this once.
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|11--11-11-11-11-11-4--4-4--4-4-4-----------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-9---9--9--9--9--9\2--2-2--2-2-2-----------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
Then back to the main riff x 3 (I think it is 3)
Then play this.
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-4--4-4-4-4--4-9--9-9--9-9-9------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-2--2-2-2-2--2/7--7-7--7-7-7------------------------|
Then the part that I think would be called the CHORUS
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----5--------4--4-4-5--5-5--------------------------|
|----4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4--------------------------|
|-6--6--6-6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6---6b-7-4-2-2-2-4-6-9--9-9| x 4
|-7--7--7-7-7-7--7-7-7--7-7-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0|
|-0--0--0-0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0--------------------------|
*________________________*
Through this bit a second guitar plays the
higher strings of the E chord just played.
Then play this.
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-4--4-4-4-4--4-9--9-9--9-9-9------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-2--2-2-2-2--2/7--7-7--7-7-7------------------------|
Then back to the VERSE/MAIN RIFF
Then to this.
Then play this.
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-4--4-4-4-4--4-7--7-7--7-7-7------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-2--2-2-2-2--2/5--5-5--5-5-5------------------------|
Then back to the CHORUS
Then it changes to what I will call the BRIDGE
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-11-11-11-11-7-7-7-7-7-7-7|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9--9--9--9-5-5-5-5-5-5-5|
From thereon in there is no new stuff..so that is it.
The song ends on the weird E from the CHORUS
I would like to hear some opinions about this please.

Stay cool...
at least somebody's cool as you
"Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
If you want, then start to laugh
if you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way"- C.M.C.
