Farther down along the range
Where the wise ones kept at bay
Those that wish secrets stay secret, for morning mass
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/smashing_pumpkins/tom_tom_tab.html ]
C                    D
I tell myself, It's where I belong
Em                       C*
Among the waves and the ones now gone
C           D         G
With my ancestors drums
G                C
Here comes the morning man
Em                    D
He's gonna tell you where you stand
G               C               Em             D     G
Gonna try to undertake what's falling, he's calling you
G                C
Here comes the morning man
Em             D
He's here and yes he can
G               C                 Em         D
Penetrate the veils that you're holding, unfolding you
Am  Em D
Sha-la-la-la [x3]
Verse Riff:
This sign of a solstice bare
Where autumn shows its truthful air
Is when I'm vowed to empty scare the precious stars of morning prayers

(Same as chord progression above)
I remind myself it's who you are
An orphan soul on a distant star
Listening for those bells
Here comes the morning man
He's here and yes he can
Penetrate the veils that you're holding, unfolding you
Here comes the morning man
He's gonna tell you where you stand
Gonna try to undertake what's falling, he's calling you

Bridge: (from the words i can understand)
Am
And eyes shine bright
               Em        D
I don't need anyone but you
G
Our love is like an art
            D            Em
Until the morning tears apart
      A#               G*
And leaves us.....
G
Here comes the morning man
G
Here comes the morning man
G
Here comes the morning man
A
He's watching, He's watching

(start chorus chord progression again)
Sha-la-la-la
Here comes the morning man
He's watching, unfolding you
Here comes the morning man
He's watching, watching you

i compiled this in very little time without a guitar so i apologize for mistakes. i will 
correct them later when i get a chance.


i mainly use power chords especially going into the chorus
so C* is actually just the octave C on the A string

G*
e-3--2
b-3--3
g-0--0
d-x--x
a-2--2
e-3--3
