Smashing Pumpkins - The Crying Tree Of Mercury acoustic - 20

[BooNube]

I really do think Machina is the best Pumpkins album, simply on the sheer quality of it's songs and production

[curlymolly70]

Thanks mistacabbage, really enjoyed that.

[fieldpool]

this version should have been on machina. It sounds so far better agree?

[lilmstouchme]

Just beautiful

BILLY CORGAN, PERFECT

[tradingasruffus]

ok pretty sure its not C but Fmaj7

[tradingasruffus]

chords look like Am sus to C shape (or F maj 7?) also goes up to G on the change, but i dont have my axe on me gonna be a few months b4 i get home again...they playing tonight in brisbane and im goin to miss them...its ok i saw them on the melon collie tour still keeps me warm at night

[ichbinderausgang]

I agree, this is one of those songs that maybe suffered from 'version-sickness'

The version they played during 2000 was really moving. I wish there was one really clean version of it from those shows. Most of the ones Ive heard are bad quality or have someone talking/yelling over them

[indio24st]

anybody kno the chords for this song??

without having to tune it half a step down

plz tell me if u kno

[leopheard]

Erm, just do the chords but a half-step down e.g. C becomes B and Am becomes G#m

[33markvan66]

there is also a recorded piano veresion of this song

[jaykay1975]

Beautiful version .... you can see how much Billy is enjoying these shows.... Imagine being in that venue with only 199 other fans, seeing performances like that.... I'm green with envy!

[Fathoms2004]

This is one of the more soulful tunes Billy's written. The obtuseness of the album version put off a lot of people, but I've always felt that it was a very chilling and sad parable.
