siamese dream album.

tabbed by Jacob Schieb

Note- if this tab is offlined... just copy and past it to notepad or whatever and fontsize it to 8 or 10.

I love this song. If one song should be played for the rest of our lives it

should be this song. It's hard at first but with time youll gt it. It did anyway.

ok the song is played using standard tunning.

chords used:

g-8--4-------4--0---2--4------x---x----x---x--(7)-(7)----9-

d-9--4-------5--2---2--4------2---4----5--(7)--7---7-----9-

a-9--4-------5--2---0--4------2---4----5---7---5---5-----7-

power chords:

tempo=64 (slow rock)

intro:

Gtr.1 >fig.a< clean electric w/chorus (left channel)

Gtr.2 >fig.a< clean electric w/chorus

[--9---------7-----------------------5------5----------------5-----5\10-]

Gtr.1

Gtr.2

Gtr.1

Gtr.2

Gtr.1 >fig.b<

[-8--------8\9--11/7---6---4---2-----8--------8\9--11--12--11-\14--/9---]

Gtr.2 >fig.b<

verse's:

nothing left to say

and all i've left to do

is run away from you

and she let me on down

with secrets i can't keep

NOW play with Gtr.1 >fig.b<

close your eyes and sleep

don't wait up for me

hush now don't you speak to me

Now for this part you could just use wah effect while

stricking the ninth fret of g string once. let it ring out

but have some fun with it. Listen to the song to get the feel.

wrapped my hurt in you

and took my shelter in that pain

the opiate of blame

is your broken heart heart your heart

Again play with Gtr. >fig.b<

so now i'm all by myself

as i've always felt

and i'll betray my tears

to anyone caught in our ruse of fools

one last kiss for me yeah

one last kiss

good night

Here is that little intro solo played with an ebow on an acoustic

(good luck trying to reproduce this sound, it's hard BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE)

if you don't have an ebow or dont know what it is simply play this in a lite

sounding effect to give it a bedtime sleepy sound.

Gtr.1 Bend many x's

[------10h12-----10-/14\10--7--b7(8)b7b7(8)-----------------------------]

[--0-----------------------------------------(Still bending many x's)---]

NOW without effects, clean

[-----------------------0~~--------------0~~~~~~~ let ring into distortion.

[--/14--\9--7-----9---9-----9-----9---9--------------------------]

And now the heavy distortion... played with power chords

didn't want to lose you once again

didn't want to be your friend

fulfilled a promise made of tin

and crawled back to you

(darcy and billy with backup)

i'm all by myself (close your eyes and sleep)

as i've always felt (don't wait up for me)

and i'll betray myself (hush now don't you speak)

to anyone lost

anyone but you

Kickass solo here, while playing B-E-G- under solo

so let the sadness come again

on that you can

depend on me

until the bitter bitter end

of the world

when god sleeps in bliss

and i'm all by myself

as i've always felt

and i'll betray myself

to anyone.

Clean guitar

nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

yeah yeah yeah nah nah nah nah nah

yeah yeah yeah nah nah nah nah nah

yeah yeah yeah nah nah

hoh... (END OF SONG)

And now the kickass solo. Ok you must still keep playing the chords B-E-G.
