Graceful swans of never topple to the earth, And you
Can make it last, forever you.
And you can make it last forever you.
And for a moment I lose myself,
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world,
I've journeyed here and there and back again.
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends,
Mysteries not ready to reveal,
Sympathies I'm ready to return.
I'll make the effort, love can last forever.
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth.
Tomorrow's just an excuse,
And you can make it last, forever you.
You can make it last, forever you.
Title: Thirty-Three Group: The Smashing Pumpkins Album: Mellon Collie and The Infinite Saddness (disc 2: track 3)
I've seen several versions of this song posted around the internet, but wasn't satisfied with any of them, so here's my own work on it.
Chords: o= open string x= not played
Dsus2 e 3 o o The main problem with other tabs is b 3 1 3 the Dsus2 chord, which many confuse g o o 2 with simply D. But if you listen d o 2 o carefully you can hear the a 2 3 o difference. Billy uses this chord E 3 o x in Tonight, Tonight too.
Other notes: This is played with three guitars.
Guitar 1: Phaser/flanger w/delay and reverb. (Only plays the changes. Phase/Flange and the delay are increased after "on my own...)" Guitar 2: Acoustic (strums chords throughout) Guitar 3/piano: Clean Electric (plays small lead riff throughout)
Intro: G x3
Dsus2 Speak to me in a language I can hear Dsus2 Humor me before I have to go Dsus2 Deep in thought I forgive everyone Dsus2 as the cluttered streets greet me once again Dsus2 I know I can't be late Dsus2 supper's waiting on the table Dsus2 Tomorrow is just an excuse away Dsus2 So I turn my collar up and face the cold, (let Dsus2 ring) G (as soon as "own..") on my own. . . Dsus2 The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet Dsus2 at the blasphemy in my old jangly walk Dsus2 steeple guide me to my heart and home Dsus2 the sun is up and out and down again
I know I'll make it
love can last forever
graceful swans of never Dsus2 topple to the earth Dsus2 and you could make it last forever, Dsus2 you could make it last forever
and for a moment I lose myself Dsus2 wrapped up in the pleasure of the world Dsus2 i've journeyed here and there and back again Dsus2 but in the same old haunts I still find my friends Dsus2 mysteries not ready to reveal Dsus2 sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort
love can last forvever
graceful swans of never Dsus2 topple to the earth Dsus2 tomorrow's just an excuse Dsus2 tomorrow's just and excuse away Dsus2 could make it last forever, Dsus2 you could make it last forever, Dsus2 you could make it last forever C Dsus2 (let ring) you,
forever you...
Outro: G x4
For the piano/Clean electric here's what is played:
riff 1: e|-------------| Riffs 1&2 are played whenever a G is b|9-8-9-11-9-8-| played pretty much. For the intro and outro they alternate, and for the riff 2: rest Riff 1 is used almost e|------11-8---| exclusively. Just listen to the CD b|9-8-9------11| for the timing and changes between the two.
As always comments/suggestions/corrections are welcome! If anyone has any more specific info on the effects used on
