Wound Acoustic chords by The Smashing Pumpkins
Guitar chords with lyrics
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                Last updated:
