Smashing Pumpkins - Wound Acoustic

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
C
taste of your demands

Am7
if you wait , i will wait
Em D
if you taste , i will taste
Am7
if you run , i will run
Em D
if you love , i will love
Am7
to my 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

Am7
if you wait , i will wait
Em D
taste , i will taste
Am7
if you run , i will run
Em D
love , i will love
Am7
to my last prayer
Em D
my last prayer
Am7
to my last prayer

D ( in the demo this is some nice inversion in the opening tuning that we can’t get here )

Am7 Em D
wound opens reveal a broken man
Am7 Em D
soon notions , blood on his 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 . )
Am7
if you wait , i will wait
Em7 D
taste , i will taste
Am7
if you run , i will run
Em7 D
love , i will love
Am7
to my last prayer

if you wait , if you wait
