• Song:

    Pox

  • Artist:

    Smashing Pumpkins

Another Corgan gem. :)

This song uses a capo on the fourth fret.

Notes are tabbed relative to the capo.

It's in standard tuning.

The Verses, Choruses, and the Bridge are in 6/4, but the Pre-Chorus is 4/4.

I won't notate the rhythm much, so listen to the song for that.

     Verse
Another dumb kid
Shadow
Another restless bitch
Still fucked
Another magic trick
Hey, not a sound
Forget to forget

     Pre-Chorus
You're so far
you're getting close
To my heart
Of pox
Of pox

     Chorus
We're giving back the dream
We're giving back the dream
We're giving back the dream
We're giving back the dream

     Pre-Chorus

     Alt. Verse
Another plastic squeeze
Sunkissed
Another favorite squeeze
A lost gift
We do as we please
But what with
I choose to forget

    Pre-Chorus
Just how close
We really are
Next to me
A pox
A pox

    Chorus
We're giving back the dream
We're giving back the dream
We're giving back the dream
We're giving back the dream

    Bridge
I know I'm right
I can't be wrong
Put up your dukes
You're 

    Pre-Chorus
Not so strong

    Verse (Palm-muted)
Every angel sleeps somewhere
Every angel dreams of sometime
Every angel walks with me now
Every angel kiss 

    Pre-Chorus
What's left upon my bruised cheek
Bazillion strong believe

We're giving back the dream
We're giving back the dream
We're giving back the dream
We're giving back the dream

Another dumb kid
His shadow
Another dumb kid
His shadow
Another dumb kid
His shadow
Even angels sleep 

    End
Sometime
