We Only Come Out At Night Guitar Tablature
the Smashing Pumpkins
We only come out at night
Off Mellon Collie & the infinite sadness:
Twilight to starlight (1995)
Written by Billy Corgan
Tabbed by Jimi
Eb

This is an Anthem! One of the best songs
Billy has ever written. It´s just cheap
playing but with great feeling. Go out!

It´s just an advice for you guitarplaying
singers out there and not very important,
but you wanna try out my way of playing:
I use to substitute the repetation of the
last chord in every Chorus line. For the
cool sounding chords James uses, I think,
an harmonizer, eventually some delay and,
be sure, mild chorus.


Intro:

G  |  Dm  |  C  |  C
G  |  Dm  |  C  |  C
G  |  Dm  |  F  |  F
G  |  Dm  |  C  |  C

    G        Dm      F     F
the days are much to bright

   G         Dm     C      C7
We only come out at night


Verse:

    F    Am    F      Am      C       G        Dm
and once again you pretend to know me well, my friend

    F    Am    F    Am      C        G  
and once again I pretend to know the ways

Dm             C
thru the empty space

Dm              C      G  Dm  F
thru the secret places of the heart


Chorus: same


Verse:

    F    Am       F    Am       C        G    Dm
and walk alone, I walk alone to find the ways

    F     Am       F     Am     C       G     
I´m on my own, I´m on my own to see the way - home

    Dm               C         Dm                C
but I can´t help the days, you will make it home okey

  G        Dm            F
I know you can – and you can


Chorus: same


Verse:

    F    Am        Em           F          G
and once again you pretend that there´s an end 

F    Am         Em     F    G     C
that there´s an end of that begin

Dm                        C       
it will help you sleep at night

Dm                        C           G      Dm      F
it will make it seem that right, it´s always right – alright?


Chorus: 

   G         Dm     C      C
We only come out at night

   G         Dm     C      C

the days are much to bright
