By Starlight Chords - Smashing Pumpkins
By Starlight Chords
Pretty song, easy to play. There's some sort of phaser going on, but it sounds nice acoustically, too. Intro: (you can throw in quick 9th notes in here and there on the C's for variety...same goes for the verses) |C|C|C|C|C|Cmaj7|Gm|F| C Cmaj7 Gm F By starlight I'll kiss you and promise to be your one and C Cmaj7 Gm F only. C Cmaj7 Gm F I'll make you feel happy and leave you to be lost in C Cmaj7 Gm F mine. C Cmaj7 Gm F (Emphasised downstrokes on Gm and F) And where will we go, what will we do? Dm G Soon said I, will C Cmaj7 Gm F know. And are you just like me? C Cmaj7 Gm F Dm (Emphasised; cut the Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me? F short to make room) C Cmaj7 Gm F Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas. C Cmaj7 Gm F Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me? And Dm G C F all along, we knew we'd carry on Dm G C Cmaj7 Gm F Just to belong. C Cmaj7 Gm F By starlight I know you, as lovely as a wish granted C Cmaj7 Gm F true. C Cmaj7 Gm F My life has been empty, my life has been untrue. Dm G C F And does she really know, who I really am? Dm G (Hold, maybe give it a slow upstroke or something) And does she really know me? C Cmaj7 Gm F At last.....and are you just like me? C Cmaj7 Gm F Dm (As above) Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me? C Cmaj7 Gm F Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas. C Cmaj7 Gm F Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me? C Cmaj7 Gm F Oooohhh...are you just like me? (Fade and repeat. The words vary a bit, there's a lot of "ooohhs", etc...)

About the artist behind By Starlight 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).
