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.

Shakedown 1979,
Emaj7 E A
cool kids never have the time
F#m B Emaj7 E A
on a live wire right up off the street, you and I should meet
Emaj7 E A
junebug skipping like a stone
Ema7 E A
with the headlights pointed at the dawn
F#m B
we were sure we'd never see an end to it all
E A E
and I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
A E A
and we don't know just where our bones will rest to dust I guess
F#m B
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Emaj7 E A
Emaj7 E A Emaj7 E A
double cross the vacant and the bored
Emaj7 E A
they're not sure just what we have in store
F#m A
morpine city slippin dues down to see
E A E
that we don't even care as restless as we are
A E
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
A B
and poured cement, lamented and assured
C#m A
to the lights and towns below
B C#m A
faster than the speed of sound
B C#m A F#m B Emaj7 E A
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Emaj7 E A
Justine never knew the rules
Emaj7 E A
hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
Emaj7 E A
no apologies ever need be made
F#m
I know you better than you fake it
B E A E
to see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
A E A
and we don't know just where our bones will rest, to dust I guess
F#m B Emaj7 E A
forgotten and absorbed into earth below
Emaj7 E A
the street heats the urgency of sound
E
as you can see there's no one around
