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.

Bye

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.
