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
Em D
Am7 Em7 D
If you wait, if you wait
Am7 Em7 D
If you wait, if you wait
Gadd9
