soma -- smashing pumpkins (billy corgan/james iha)
----
Co-transcribed by Chris Carman (cecarman@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu -- tab) and
Patrick A. Nast (Patrick.Nast@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de -- chords & lyrics)

This is my way to play the chords:

       B     E     G    F#     A     C     F     D 
E------0-----0-----3-----9-----5-----8-----1----10--
B------0-----0-----0-----9-----5-----8-----1----10--
G------8-----9-----0----11-----6-----9-----2----11--
D------9-----9-----0----11-----7----10-----3----12--
A------9-----7-----2-----9-----7----10-----3----12--
E-----(7)---(7)----3-----9-----5-----8-----1----19--

Hints: use chorus, reverb, echo, and Ebows to get it to sound like the record.
 Or just have fun with it.

--------------------------3---------------------

just repeat something similar to the above intro stuff with the rest of the
band until the vocals come in, then play the chords written above the lyrics.
with over 40 guitar tracks on this song alone, the best thing we can hope to do
is approximate it -- hell, on stage, the Pumpkins only have two guitarists.

[for the vocals, play something similar to the intro w/lead part]

B        E       G 
nothing left...
B E G
B E G
B E
G B E

[play that lead part here for the next 4 lines]

G                   B    E
close your eyes...

G B E G

[crank up the mellotron here...]

B          E       G

[lead w/Mike Mills on piano, playing the chords]

       B       E    G

B E G
B E G
B E G F#

B                        F# 
one last...
B
G

[solo1] play E G A F# under solo1

Okay, the amazing thing about this solo -- and I shit you not -- is that not
only is it on an acoustic guitar (!) driven by an Ebow (!!), but there are
FOURTEEN studio tracks of it! (!!!)  So don't worry if this isn't exact. :)
                                bend up & down
