Band: Smashing Pumpkins 
Song: By Starlight
Album: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Tuning: E flat (I think) D#, G#, C#, F#, A#, d#
Written by: Billy Corgan
Transcribed by: Brian Sullivan/ amachineofgod






	This is a very pretty song, one of my favorites.  I believe its in Eb tuning, but I really have no clue.  The song starts with a fade in effect.  Bare with me, Ive never written tab before. If I make a mistake, write me, my screen names on my profile.

One guitar now plays the Opening line. A second guitar plays this. These are played throughout the chorus.

Hold the 12 on the 4th string for one more measure (the measure which guitar 1 plays G). Play that pattern 2x.  Then switch to this pattern.

And now play the first chorus pattern again. It will fit with the words like this.


  Dsus2                    Dmaj9                         Am                     G    Dsus2           Dmaj9         Am
                                                 And   are   you   just   like   me   dead   eyes   dead   eyes   are   you   just   
          G     Bm            A(5)                                Em                    G                 Dsus2          Dmaj9
Like   me   her   eyes   her   eyes   were   as   vacant   as   the   seas   yeah   dead   eyes   dead   eyes   
Am                             G
Are   you   just   like   me    


Bridge:
Em                 A                D                                   G           Em        A
     And   all   along   we   knew   we   could   be   wrong   just   to   belong


       Dsus2                 Dmaj9              Am                   Gmaj                                  Dsus2                Dmaj9
By   starlight   Ill   know   you   as   lovely   as   a   wish   granted   true   my   life   has   been   empty
         Am                     G      Em                      A         D                                    G      Em      
My   life   has   been   true   and   does   she   really   know   who   I   really   am   does   she   know   
A              Dsus2
Me   at   last


The chorus is played again.  Then the song takes a dreamy fade-out effect.  If I did anything wrong, write me.                                                 love, peace, empathy, desire, mischief, and gladness
