Subject: Under Your Spell Artist : Smashing Pumpkins Release: Mashed Potatoes Box Set/Live At Cabaret Metro 10-5-88 Author : Iain Strong Tuning : Standard This is an excellent, anthemic, song, leaked from the extremely rare Mashed Potatoes box sets which Billy gave to friends. It is thought to be one of the earliest Pumpkins demos, dating back to 1988. A live version of this song was also released on a CD given exclusively to anyone lucky enough to attend the final show at the Metro on 12/2/2000. Intro/Chorus: (Open B in brackets because I think it makes more sense rhythmically) x----------------------------0-------x x----------0--------------(0)--0-----x x------5-----5---5-----5---------5---x x----5---5-----5-----5---5-----------x x--3---------------0-----------------x x------------------------------------x Verse: (Slightly Palm Muted W/Distortion; G5 in brackets only played first time) x---------------------------------------x x---------------------------------------x x---------------------------------------x x--(5)\2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2/5-5-5-5/7-7-7-7--x x--(5)\2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2/5-5-5-5/7-7-7-7--x x--(3)\0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0/3-3-3-3/5-5-5-5--x (Slide signs are probably the wrong way round because I'm left-handed) Repeat both parts as is necessary. These are basically the two formats which the song follows for the first two minutes or so. This part appears for a few bars after the second verse, and at the very end: x-------------------------------x x-------------------------------x x--5-5-5-5----------------------x x--5-5-5-5-5-5-5/7-7-7\5-5-5-5--x x--3-3-3-3-5-5-5/7-7-7\5-5-5-5--x x----------3-3-3/5-5-5\3-3-3-3--x Solo: (Rough Approximation, to give a sense of the scale.)
