Tuning:
Winterlong by The Smashing Pumpkins (from the album 'Judas 0')
tabbed by John Halfpenny (jhalfpenny@excite.com)
Yet another gorgeous, pretty little song from Billy Corgan.
Drop D tuning (low to high DADGBe)
Play the verse part for all the lyrics marked [Verse], and fingerpick the chords above the words for the chorus, changing roughly where indicated above the lyrics. That's plenty for you to figure out a good version for yourself. :) You can play in standard tuning if you wish, but in drop D you can sort of play the bass guitar part as well for the main verse riff, and I find it sounds better on a single instrument.
Chords used (in drop D):
Dsus2 000230 Fmaj7 xx3210
Am x02210 Em 222000

[Verse]
And if I fall into you all
Will my reign cease and dissolve?
Some come to harm others to grace
So let my friends fly under these wings
[Chorus]
Dsus2We're giving it up to the Amsun
We're giving it up to the Dsus2moon
We're giving it up to the Amhour
We're giving it up from a Dsus2room
Know when there's nowhere to Amrun
Know when there's not much to Dsus2lose
Sometimes it seems so Amlong since you had a chance to Dsus2refuse
Fmaj7We built a fire. Dsus2Winterlong
Fmaj7Transformed new I am. Dsus2Winterlong
Fmaj7I was the first one, EmI was the last one to be Dsus2strong
Am / Dsus2 / Am / Dsus2
[Verse]
And if I fall into you all
Will the silence shatter and stall?
Some feel movement others stand still
So let the moment become my will
[Chorus]
Dsus2We're giving it up to the Amsun
We're giving it up to the Dsus2moon
We're giving it up to the Amhour
We're giving it up from a Dsus2rose
Know when there's nowhere to Amrun
Know when there's not much to Dsus2lose
So why does it take so Amlong to find out who is Dsus2who?
Fmaj7We built a fire. Dsus2Winterlong
Fmaj7Transformed new I am. Dsus2Winterlong
Fmaj7I was the first one, EmI was the last one to be Dsus2strong
Am / Dsus2
We're giving it up to the Amsun
We're giving it up to the Dsus2moon
We're giving it up to the Amhour
We're giving it up from your Dsus2room
We're giving it up to the Amsun
We're giving it up to the Dsus2moon
