This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Subject: TAB: Ugly by Smashing Pumpkins

Ugly - Smashing Pumpkins

Written By - Billy Corgan

Transcribed By - BUGG.SUPERSTAR@S-GRIFFIN.COM

This is another new song of the 1979 Single, its also on

the Mellon Collie Demos tape, but this is a little

different. I'll do my Best with the Rythym, its just

approximate, listen to the record, it'll come along.. Enjoy :)

Structure - *1,*2 x4,*3,*4,*3,*5 x9,*6

Sorry if this is a little complicated, its all there, and

this is the only way I could come up with to TAB it out, so

That that theres sort of a rythym in the TAB, instead of just

the chords. If you have any questions, or need some help

figuring this out, write me at the address at the top..

Later, Bugg :)

Lyrics -

Don't look in the mirror

Don't like what I see staring back at me

Everything is clearer

I'll never see what you see

It's not me

So beautiful and free

I'll never be what you need

Can't help at all

I was born so beautiful but no I'm ugly

And i rot in my skin

As a piece of me dies every day

I know I'm nothing

I know theres nothing I can't say to change

The judgement in there ways

I'll never be what you need

CAn't help at all

My love was so beautiful but no I'm ugly

Yeah, good enough but I don't care

I'm good enough but I'm not there

I'm good enough but I don't care

The sun is out but I'm not there

I'm good enough but I don't care

The sun is out but I'm not there

I'm good enough, good enough

Don't look in the mirror

I don't like what I see staring back at me

Everything is clearer

I'll never see what you see

And I rot in my skin

As a piece of me dies every day

I know I'm nothing

Because I'm Ugly
