Smashing Pumpkins - Meladori Magpie 
From "Tonight, Tonight" single released 1996.
Features Jimmy and Dennis Flemion of the Frogs.

"Another believe it or not, this left-over from 
Siamese Dream was written in the last-minute crush. 
Butch Vig never thought much of it, but it is one of 
my secret favorites. A simple song of innocence that 
has double-tracked, finger-picked acoustic and drum 
machine, and was recorded at home." -BC (Guitar World 1/97)

D                   C                  Bm
And on her doorstep, I saw that I was blind
            A          G
I'd forsaken what was mine

D                 C                Bm
What had mattered, mattered little now
                A          G
We had shattered apart somehow

D        G 
Oooooooooh  
D        G                 D
I can't help but stay the same
D C Bm               G      G 
I remain true to my name.....
   
D             C                       Bm
Time to get up and take the long walk home
                   A      G
For the first time, I go alone
D        C                    Bm
Do you remember when we first met?
                  A                   G
Chasing down the alleyways behind my dad's

D        G 
Oooooooooh
D        G                 D
I can't help but stay the same
D C Bm                G       A     Bm
I remain true to the name of lovers past
D               G
Good enough to lose
A               Bm     A    G
Good enough to choose you, too

A, Bm, A, G, A

D        G 
Oooooooooh

I can't help but stay the same

Oooooooooh.....
D C Bm               G       A     Bm
I remain true to my name of lovers past
D               G
Good enough to lose
A               Bm     A    G
Good enough to choose you, too

Bm, A, D
