The Smashing Pumpkins "Galapogos"

Written by Billy Corgan, from "Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness" (1995)

Tabbed by Stefan Hauschildt at 100272.617@compuserve.com or http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/mnmol

This is one of the most beautiful songs the Pumpkins have ever done, and it's also not too hard to play.

I only tabbed the chords used in the song so if you're looking for all that fingerpicking stuff in the

beginning of the song go to some Pumpkins website and get it there. I think these chords are, well, about

95% right, but check it out for yourself.

Verse:

D        Dmaj7 D      G                        D

Ain't it fun - ny how we pretend we're still a child

Dmaj7  D     G                     D

Soft - ly stolen under our blanket skies

Bm F#m A     G              Bm F#m     A            G

         And rescue me from me     And all that I believe

Bm F#m            A    G Bm F#m            A           G                  Bm

I  won't deny the pain   I  won't deny the change, and should I fall from grace

F#m       A   G                   D    Dmaj7 D G D

Here with you   Will you leave me too?

Verse 2:

          Dmaj7 D         G                   D

Carve out your  heart for keeps in an old oak tree

    Dmaj7 D          G                       D

And hold  me for goodbyes and whispered lullabies

Bm F#m A     G            Bm    F#m     A                   G

         And tell me I am still     The man I'm supposed to be

Bm F#m            A    G Bm F#m            A           G                  Bm

I  won't deny the pain   I  won't deny the change, and should I fall from grace

F#m       A   G                   Em   G                   D

Here with you   Will you leave me too?   Will you leave me too?

Then some fingerpicking on the last D, followed by the Bridge

(A and G each for one mesure, this twice before the distortion part):

A G A G D                       A                       G

          Too late to turn back now, I'm running out of sound

         A#       C            D

And I am changing changi - i - ing

                     A                          G                A#

And if we died right now this fool you love somehow is here with you

Bm F#m            A    G Bm F#m            A           G                  Bm

I  won't deny the pain   I  won't deny the change, and should I fall from grace

F#m       A   G                    Em   G                    D    Dmaj7 D G D

Here with you   Would you leave me too?   Would you leave me too?
