Smashing Pumpkins

 

 

INTRO:

Guitar1, (clean)

|-A--Em--G-| The G is played like: |32003x| except 3rd time where

its played like |320033|. The fills are below:

|----------------2h3-3/5-5/7-5-|

|-2h3/5/7hb\-------------------|

|------------------------------|

|------------------------------|

|------------------------------|

|------------------------------|

 

Then comes:

Guitar2, (distorted)

|---------------------------------------------|

|-2-2--2---2-0-2-2---2-2-2----2-2-2---2-2--2--|

|-2-2--4p2-2-0-2-2---2-2-4p2--2-2-2---2-2--2--|

|-2-2--2---2-0-2-2---2-2-2----2-2-2---2-2--2--|

|-0-0--0---0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0--0-0-0---0-0--0--|

|---------------------------------------------|

 

Then both guitars play G then D/F#, these can be played in two different

ways either as open chords: G |320033|, D/F# |200232| or as barre chords:

G |355233|, D/F# |254232|.

The majority of the song revolves around A, G, and D/F#.

 

Guitar2 continues playing this progression:

|--A----G--D/F#--A----G--A----G--|

During the beginning of this, Guitar1 plays a little solo:

|---------------------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------------|

|-6>---6-6hbhr6h7r6---------------------------------|

|-----9------------7/(14)---------12-11-12-11-------|

|-------------------------*12hbhr-------------*12>--|

|---------------------------------------------------|

 

And where the progression above holds on the G chord twice there is

a G note played on the 5th fret of the D string in unison.

 

Guitar2 then repeatly plays Riff1 until the quiet part:

Riff1:

|-A--G--D/F#-|

 

Under the progression there is a little riff:

|--------------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------------|

|---------------5-5-4>---------------5-5-4>--------------------|

|---------4-5-7----------------4-5-7----------4-5-4-5-4h5p5----|

|-5>--5-7--------------5>--5-7------------------------------5--|

 

Now when Riff1 stops on the D/F# chord, slide up the F# note

on the 2nd fret of the low-E string to a G note on the 3rd

fret of the same string while partially muting the other strings.

 

Riff1 continues and this solo is played over it:

|---------------------------------------------------------------|

|-----------------------------------------10>--8h10p8---8/14>---|

|-10>------------------------------9-11>--------------11--------|

|-----11h12-11-9-11-11h12p11p9----------------------------------|

|------------------------------12-------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------------------------|

 

|---------------------------------------------------------|

|--16hbhr-14*14hb>>--17fbfr-(18)--------------------------|

|----------------------------^-mute with another finger---|

|---------------------------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------------------|

 

Now the quiet part comes in. It's just the A, G, D/F# chords

played over, but arpeggiated with certain notes left out.

A G A G A G D/F# G

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ ^--distortion comes back

x x x x x 3 0

x 0 x 0 x 0 3

2 0 2 0 2 0 0

2 0 2 x 2 0 4

0 x 0 x 0 x x

x 3 x 3 x 3 2

- - - - - - -

 

Now Guitar2 starts playing Riff1 again.

These fills are also played over it:

|--------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

|--12p11p9-11p9--------------------------/11--12--14>>---|

|--------------10h12--10-9h10p9>-------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

 

|--------------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------------|

|---------------5-5-4>---------------5-5-4>--------------------|

|---------4-5-7----------------4-5-7----------4-5-4-5-4h5p5----|

|-5>--5-7--------------5>--5-7------------------------------5--|

 

Riff1 ends on A and the song slows down again playing

this Riff2:

|--------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

|-------0-----0----------------------------0-----0-------|

|-----9-----0--------11-12-11-9-11-9-----9-----0---------|

|--10-----9----------0--0--0--0-0--0--10-----9-----------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

^-------------------------------^-------Riff2 repeats.

 

And this solo comes during Riff2:

|--------------------------------------------------------|

|----------------------------------------------19fb------|

|--------------------------------16fbfr-14>>--------X\---|

|-5>>--7>>>----5-5-/9-/11-/14>----------------------X\---|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

 

|--------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

|--18h19r18h19r18r16h18r16h18r16--X\---------------------|

|---------------------------------X\---------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

 

The X\'s are pick slides. The first pick slide should be fast and

over the pickups on the indicated strings, this should give a

similiar sound. The second is a tad bit slower well in front of

the lead pickup.

 

Riff2 then continues with distortion, and the song ends on an A chord.
