Smashing Pumpkins – In The Arms Of Sleep chords
Chords:
Song: In the Arms of Sleep Artist: The Smashing Pumpkins Album: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Released: 1995 ### Disclaimer: I haven't seen a tab out there yet which gives the correct tuning, and therefore the correct chord voicings, for this song according to the actual album music. HOWEVER, this is probably because it's really weird and annoying to play it "by the book", and you can get a very similar sounding cover with some simple modifications. I will give both the album version, and a simplified version I picked up years ago. (I know I just made a big stink about proper nomenclature, but I won't be giving the technically correct chord names for my Simplified Version... please don't judge me!)
