Porcelina of the Vast Oceans By Smashing Pumpkins From the album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness *Tuning: INTRO (I don’t know the names of these chords these are my guesses. But they’re played as shown) A2maj A2min7 Bb|----0---------0-------| Gb|----6---------12------| Db|----7---------10------| Ab|----0---------0-------| |------------| *In this part hit the first chord quickly and switch to D. This is much easier if you are in Db tuning so you can hit the power chord and then strum the open and strings. It should be pretty obvious what to do if you listen to the song. / / VERSE ONE As far as you take me that’s where I believe The realm of soft delusions floating on the leaves On a distant shoreline she waves her arms to me As all the thought police are closing in for sleep The dilly dally of my bright lit stay The steam of my misfortunes Has given me the power to be afraid And in my mind I’m everyone And in my mind CHORUS / Without a care in this whole world / Without a care in this whole world / Without a care in this life It’s what you take that makes it right Porcelina of the oceans blue Porcelina Porcelina VERSE TWO In the slipstream of thoughtless thoughts The light of all that’s good the light of all that’s true To the fringes gladly I walk unadorned With gods and their creations With filth and disease Porcelina she waits for me there With seashell hissing lullabyes And whispers fathomed deep inside my own Hidden thoughts and alibis My secret thoughts come alive CHORUS / Without a care in this whole world / Without a care in this whole world / Without a care in this life It’s what you take that makes it right BRIDGE And in my mind I’m everyone And in my mind I’m everyone In my mind I’m everyone of you You make it right It’s all alright You make it right OUTRO Porcelina of the oceans blue Porcelina of the oceans blue
