sweet sweet -- by smashing pumpkins (billy corgan) ----------- From: 3EV1@QUCDN.QUEENSU.CA SWEET SWEET: This sad little ditty is simply a progression of 3 basic chords, G C and Em. The song sounds OK like this, but G tuning makes it sound close to the Siamese Dream version. --> E G D G B E <--- Intro: -=-=- |--------------------------------------------0---0--|r play this guitar|--12--12--12---12-10--8----8--8---8---------0---0--|e string with your 1 |---0---0---0---------------9--9---9----0----0---0--|p thumb - its much |---0---0---0--------------10-10--10----2----2---2--|e easier that |---0---0---0------------------0---0----4----4---4--|a way |--10--------------------------8---8----0----0---0--|t <------------ - or something like that anyway. After 2 bars, guitar 2 comes in with the following: |-----------------------------------------------0------| |-------------------------------------------------0----| |---0---0---0---0---------9---9---9----------0------0--| |-----------------12-9-10--10--10----------2-----------| |----------------------------------------4-------------| |--------------------------------------0---------------| - guitar 2 continues arpeggiating this pattern throughout the whole song. Verse: After the Intro, guitar 1 starts to strum the chords outlined above -=-=- for the rest of the song. After the 1st "and they all want you to change..", a 3rd guitar plays this in 3/4 time: |-------10------10---------10-- |----12------12------12-12----- |--0-------0-------0----------- or something close to it anyway. |------------------------------ |------------------------------ |------------------------------ If you play this song differently let me know: 3EV1@Qucdn.QueensU.CA (Van Vekris) =-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Tab courtesy of Jesse Scott, contact him for comments.] Here's my TAB for Sweet Sweet - It's the simplest song on SD.. If anyone thinks it's wrong tell me where I screwed up. TAB by jesse.scott@baroque.tvk.tsoft.net TUNING: "Dropped-G" (Low/High E G D G B E) Tune your A string down a full-step to G Notes: This is probably the simplest Pumpkins song, just two chord, the only wierd things are the alternate tuning and the wierd voicings. Also, the strumming pattern may not be exact but it's as close as I could tab it. Voicings: G - x00007 C - x55050 Main Riff: Just repeat this through the entire song G C E-|--7---7---7---7---------0-----0-----0-0-0--|- B-|--0---0---0---0---------5-----5-----5-5-5--|- G-|--0---0---0---0-0-------0-----0-----0-0-0--|- D-|--0---0---0---0-0-0-5---5---5-5---5-5-5-5--|- G-|--0---0---0---0-0-0-5---5---5-5---5-5-5-5--|- E-|-------------------------------------------|- End on the wierd the C chord and slide down the neck.
