If There Is A God by Smashing Pumpkins guitar tab (text):

"If There is a God"

         Written by Billy Corgan
         Music by Billy Corgan
         Performed by The Smashing Pumpkins
         From "Machina II- The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music"
         Transcribed by Tate Jensen

Ok people, I was looking for a transcription of this beautiful song
that was released on Machina II, and I couldn't find one. So I decided
to transcribe it myself. There are two versions of this song on Machina
II; one on piano, and one with the full band. I used both of those
versions to transcribe it, and what I've come up with is a nice acoustic
version of the song that is most similar to the piano version.

Tuning: In the full band version of the song, the guitar is tuned down a
few steps...I read in an interview with Billy that he and James both had
their guitars tuned down two full steps for the whole Machina
album...(and for some of the second) and to do this, they had special
guitars made that would go down this low without sounding terrible.

So the tuning for this acoustic version is Standard. If you want to play
along with the piano version, tune half a step up. Also, I think the
full band version is done in drop D tuning, but it doesn't really work
doing it acoustically with drop D.

For timing and strumming, listen to the record, and create your own
patterns in accordance to what sounds best acoustically for you.
