1979 Acoustic Chords

(ver. 4)
Smashing Pumpkins
Intro:  Gmaj7 G  C      Gmaj7 G  C


Verse 1:

C                          Gmaj7 G
Shakedown nineteen seventy nine
C                        Gmaj7 G
Cool kids never have the time
     C                          Am7             D            Gmaj7 G
On a live wire right up off the street, you and I should meet


Verse 2:

C                       Gmaj7 G
Junebug skipping like a stone
C                              Gmaj7 G
With headlights pointed at the dawn
C                               Am7       D
We were sure we'd never see, an end to it all


Chorus 1:

    G      Gmaj7 Cmaj7                      G
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
    Gmaj7    Cmaj7                          G
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
   Gmaj7   Cmaj7
To dust, I guess?
               Am7              D       G     Gmaj7 G
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below...


Verse 3:

C                               Gmaj7 G
Double cross the vacant and the bored
C                                     Gmaj7 G
They're not sure just what we have in store
C                     Am7          D
Morphine city slippin dues down to see


Chorus 2:

     G       Gmaj7 Cmaj7                  G
That we don't even care as restless as we are
   Gmaj7    Cmaj7                          G
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
    Gmaj7   Cmaj7
And poured cement
  Am7        D
Lamented and assured


Bridge:

D                 Em   C
To the lights and town below
D               Em       C
Faster than the speed of sound
D              Em          C
Faster than we thought we'd go
   Am7               D       Gmaj7 G
Beneath the sound of hope...


Verse 4:

C                      Gmaj7 G
Justine never knew the rules
C                             Gmaj7  G
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
      C                   Gmaj7 G
No apologies ever need be made
C                      Am7        D
I know better than you fake it to see


Chorus 3:

     G       Gmaj7 Cmaj7                      G
That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
    Gmaj7    Cmaj7                          G
And we don't know just where out bones will rest
   Gmaj7   Cmaj7
To dust, I guess?
               Am7              D      Gmaj7 G
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below


Coda:

C                               Gmaj7 G
The street heats the urgency of now
C                          G
As you see there's no one around...
