This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
Track: the everlasting gaze
Artist: the smashing pumpkins
Album: machina
Firstly I?d just like to say that everybody else who tried to tab this song must be tone deaf because
all bollocks.
First of all the tuning is drop-d one tone down, so tune to (low to high) C-G-C-F-A-D this is much quicker
tune to and is a lot kinder to your guitar and allows the chord voicings on the chorus.
As for effects use a thick fuzz on the intro and main riff, for the chorus, if you have a decent
you?ll need it now, for those of you who own a boss GT3 use the ?fantasy? setting on bank 71, for the rest of you
a mild overdrive and a wah pedal with the polarity down and some chorus (unless of course you have a keyboard player you can play with, in which case don?t bother.
INTRO:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------0^1------------------------------------------------0^1-------------------------| --0^1-------1-1--0---------------------------------0^1-------1-1--0--------------------|
One bar hi-hat only and again
MAIN RIFF:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------3----3--------------------------3----3----------------------| ----------------------------------5/7--5/7-----------------------5/7--5/7---------------------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ----------0^1------------------------------------0^1------------------------------------------| --0^1------------1-1--0-------------------0^1------1-1--0-------------------------------------|
VERSE: guitar drops out, bass plays the same riff
BRIDGE: guitar comes back and plays this
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ----------------5--5---3-------0^1--1--1--------------------------------------------------------| -------0^1----5--5---3-------0^1--1--1----------------------------------------------------------| -0^1----------5--5---3-------0^1--1--1----------------------------------------------------------|
Then
------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------| ------------------5--5--------------------------| -------0^1------5--5----------------------------| -0^1------------5--5----------------------------|
Instead of the next chord in the riff the chorus begins, this is when you?ll need those effects.
CHORUS: (the rhythm here isn?t accurate, this is an attempt to illustrate how many bars the chords are
because barlines and rhythm notation are impossible to type)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -6---6---6---6---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3-------------------------------------------| -5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------------------------------------------| -3---3---3---3---5---5---5---5---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------------------------------------------| -3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5-------------------------------------------| -3---3---3---3----------------------5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5----------------------------------------|x2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -1---1---1---1--6---6---6---6---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3--------------------------------------| -3---3---3---3--5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---0---0---0---0--------------------------------------| -3---3---3---3--3---3---3---3---5---5---5---5---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--0-------| -1---1---1---1--3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---5---5---5---5---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--0-------| -------------------3---3---3---3---------------------5---5---5---5---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--0--|x2
Go back to fuzz here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -1---1---1---1--6---6---6---6---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3--------3-----3----| -3---3---3---3--5---5---5---6---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--------5/7---5/7--| -3---3---3---3--3---3---3---3---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------------------| -1---1---1---1--3---3---3---3---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5-------------------| -------------------3---3---3---3---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5----------------|
Play the main riff again
Next is verse 2
Then another bridge
And another chorus
Then there?s the a cappella part
Then the band comes back and plays the bridge
On the last time through the riff it goes,
------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ----------------5---5---3-----------------------------------------| -------0^1----5---5---3-------------------------------------------| -0^1----------5---5---3---hold------------------------------------|
And then,
OUTRO:
------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------| --0--0------0--0------0--0------0--0------0--0--0--0--| --0--0------0--0------0--0------0--0------0--0--0--0--| --0--0------0--0------0--0------0--0------0--0--0--0--|play this a few times
And then
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------5-------------------------------------------5----------------------------------| -------------------3^5---3^5^3---1^0---------------------3^5?3^5^3----6^5--------------------| -0--0---0-----------------------------------0--0---0-----------------------------------------|x4
