Wound

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 Stop stop pop tart                   Taste of your demands If you wait I will wait If you taste I will taste If you run I will run If you love I will love 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 If you wait I will wait taste I will taste If you run I will run love I will love To my last prayer My last prayer To my last prayer D (in the demo this is some nice inversion in the opening tuning that we can’t get here) Wound opens reveal a broken man Soon notions blood on his hands Em to get a bit of variety here.)                                                If you wait I will wait taste I will taste If you run I will run love I will love To my last prayer     If you wait if you wait If you wait if you wait Gadd9
