the Smashing Pumpkins
For Martha
Off Adore (1998)
Written by Billy Corgan

Eb 

This is really a piano song but I was able to arrange
these parts for guitar. James does simply chords and
the solo on his electric.

Intro:

Piano; James´ chords underneath the tab.

Now Billy turns to the chords, while Jame does the lead, it´s doubled by
a second Piano

Shattered as belief
