The Smashing Pumpkins - Mayonaise (acoustic)
--------------------------------------------

Guitar tuned a half step down (as usual for the smashing pumpkins, or you can transpose...).
The chords names here refer to standard tuning.
There are a lot of chords with slight differences.
It's sometimes difficult to find which one sounds the best...
(compare for instance Emaj7, Emaj9& and Emaj9*)

I send a heart... When your love...   Dream

I'm rumored...  While the harlots...  Scream

|   EMaj7Emaj7   |

Remarks:
(a): Emaj9* can be used instead all along
(b): make a G#m7G#m7 at the end, or a BB (at the 2nd fret)
(c): mix with an E5E5 chord (i.e. just make 8-9-8 on the G+G string)


Lyrics:
------

Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed

Pick your pockets full of sorrow
and run away with me tomorrow
June

We'll try and ease the pain
Somehow we'll feel the same
Well, no one knows where our secrets go

I send a heart to all my dearies
When your love is oh, so dreary
Dream

I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream

And I fail but when I can, I will
Try to understand that when I can, I will

Mother weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back

Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling

Sooo bad when I can, I will
Words defy the plans when I can, I will

Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I’ll always feel this

No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to

beeee me when I can, I will
Try to understand that when I can, I will
