Jennifer Ever - by Smashing Pumpkins

Jennifer Ever

=============

tabbed by Eric Agnew (agnew@cae.wisc.edu)

(Note: I'm not a guitarist (yet?), so any tabbing errors shouldn't be

flamed... (It's my first time! <blush>) I am open to suggestions/

improvements, though :) I did use a guitar to figure this out...

14 years of piano => good ability to "play by ear" & figure stuff out :)

Also makes it much easier to self-teach another instrument... Anyway.)

Standard tuning, fairly easy song (i.e. I can play it... :> )

Begin w/ pickup on an F chord, then play through main progression a couple

times, then the tab...

Main chord progressions: Am/Am2... F | Am Em G F | (repeat)

for chorus ("My...noone"): Am Em | Am Em | Am Em | F ("someone just...")

Am Am2 Am Am2 F

She always waits for someone

Am Em G F

Someone who'll never leave

Am Am2 Am Am2 F

Reliving her decision

Am Em G F

Her arms cover me

Am Em

My couple, noone

Am Em

To anyone believe

Am Em

She always waits for someone

F (tab)

Someone, someone just like me

(tab)

Jennifer

Jennifer ever

Jennifer

(same chord pattern repeats for other verses):

Jennifer always tells me

Please don't be afraid

I just want to hold you

I only want you to stay

My couple, noone

To anyone believe

She always waits for someone

Someone

Someone just like me

Jennifer

Jennifer ever

Jennifer

Jennifer

Jennifer ever

Jennifer

My couple, noone

To anyone believe

She always waits for someone

Someone

Someone just like me

Jennifer

Jennifer ever
