Jennifer Ever - by Smashing Pumpkins
Jennifer Ever
=============
tabbed by Eric Agnew (agnew@cae.wisc.edu)
(Note: I'm not a guitarist (yet?), so any tabbing errors shouldn't be
flamed... (It's my first time! ) I am open to suggestions/
improvements, though :) I did use a guitar to figure this out...
14 years of piano => good ability to "play by ear" & figure stuff out :)
Also makes it much easier to self-teach another instrument... Anyway.)
Standard tuning, fairly easy song (i.e. I can play it... :> )
Begin w/ pickup on an F chord, then play through main progression a couple
times, then the tab...
Main chord progressions: Am/Am2... F | Am Em G F | (repeat)
for chorus ("My...noone"): Am Em | Am Em | Am Em | F ("someone just...")
Am Am2 Am Am2 F
She always waits for someone
Am Em G F
Someone who'll never leave
Am Am2 Am Am2 F
Reliving her decision
Am Em G F
Her arms cover me
Am Em
My couple, noone
Am Em
To anyone believe
Am Em
She always waits for someone
F (tab)
Someone, someone just like me
(tab)
Jennifer
Jennifer ever
Jennifer
(same chord pattern repeats for other verses):
Jennifer always tells me
Please don't be afraid
I just want to hold you
I only want you to stay
My couple, noone
To anyone believe
She always waits for someone
Someone
Someone just like me
Jennifer
Jennifer ever
Jennifer
Jennifer
Jennifer ever
Jennifer
My couple, noone
To anyone believe
She always waits for someone
Someone
Someone just like me
Jennifer
Jennifer ever
