C A G7 Deep in thought I forgive everyone, C A G7 As the cluttered streets greet me once again. G7 C A I know I can't be late, G7 C A supper's on the table. G7 C A Tomorrow's just an excuse away, G7 C A So I pull my collar up and face the cold, On my own. C A G7 The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet, C A G7 At the Blasphemy in my old jangly walk. C A G7 Steeple guide me to my heart and home, C A G7 The sun is out and up and down again, G7 C I know I ll make it, love can last forever, G7 D C D Graceful swans of never topple to the earth, And you C A G7 Can make it last, forever you. C A G7 And you can make it last forever you. G7 And for a moment I lose myself, D Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world, C A G7 I've journeyed here and there and back again. C A G7 But in the same old haunts I still find my friends, C A G7 Mysteries not ready to reveal, C A G7 Sympathies I'm ready to return. G7 C I'll make the effort, love can last forever. G7 D C Graceful swans of never topple to the earth. D C Tomorrow's just an excuse, C A G7 And you can make it last, forever you. C A G7 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) Tabbed by: Jon Reisch ([email protected]) 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 G C 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 C Dsus2 G Speak to me in a language I can hear C Dsus2 G Humor me before I have to go C Dsus2 G Deep in thought I forgive everyone C Dsus2 G as the cluttered streets greet me once again G C Dsus2 I know I can't be late G C Dsus2 supper's waiting on the table G C Dsus2 Tomorrow is just an excuse away G C Dsus2 So I turn my collar up and face the cold, (let Dsus2 ring) G (as soon as "own..") on my own. . . C Dsus2 G The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet C Dsus2 G at the blasphemy in my old jangly walk C Dsus2 G steeple guide me to my heart and home C Dsus2 C the sun is up and out and down again C I know I'll make it G love can last forever C graceful swans of never Dsus2 C topple to the earth G C Dsus2 and you could make it last forever, G C Dsus2 you could make it last forever C and for a moment I lose myself Dsus2 G wrapped up in the pleasure of the world C Dsus2 G i've journeyed here and there and back again C Dsus2 G but in the same old haunts I still find my friends C Dsus2 G mysteries not ready to reveal C Dsus2 C sympathies I'm ready to return C I'll make the effort G love can last forvever C graceful swans of never Dsus2 C topple to the earth Dsus2 C tomorrow's just an excuse Dsus2 C G tomorrow's just and excuse away G C Dsus2 could make it last forever, G C Dsus2 you could make it last forever, G C Dsus2 you could make it last forever C Dsus2 (let ring) you, G 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 guitar 1, please email me. Thanks! ([email protected])

About the artist behind Thirty Three Chords:
Disavowing the punk rock roots shared by many of their alt-rock contemporaries,[2] the Pumpkins have a diverse, densely layered, and guitar-heavy sound, containing elements of gothic rock, heavy metal, dream pop, psychedelic rock, arena rock, shoegazer-style production and, in later recordings, electronica. Frontman Billy Corgan is the group's primary songwriter—his grand musical ambitions and cathartic lyrics have shaped the band's albums and songs, which have been described as "anguished, bruised reports from Billy Corgan's nightmare-land".[3]
The Smashing Pumpkins broke into the musical mainstream with their second album Siamese Dream (1993). The group built their audience with extensive touring and their follow-up, the double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995), debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. With approximately 18.25 million albums sold in the United States alone,[4] The Smashing Pumpkins were one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands of the 1990s.[5] However, internal fighting, drug use, and diminishing sales hampered the band and led to a 2000 break-up. In April 2006, the band officially announced that it was reuniting and recording a new album. Returning members Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin were joined by musicians Jeff Schroeder (guitar/vocals), Ginger Reyes (bass/vocals), and Lisa Harriton (keyboard/vocals) in 2007 to tour in support of their new release, Zeitgeist (2007).
