This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Title: galapogos

Artist: The Smashing Pumpkins

Tuning: All strings 1/2 step down

Play this alot

Riff1

G|----------------------------|
D|----------------5---5-4-2-0-|
A|5---5---5---5---------------|
E|----------------------------|

After "blanket skies" play a bunch of D's and

Riff2

G|------------------------------|
D|-------4--4-4-2--2-2-5--4-2-0-|
A|5--5-5------------------------|
E|------------------------------|

Play that a bunch, then end on a D, and play Riff1 again.

After that play a bunch of D's, then G's, and play Riff2.

End on a D. Then play (as someone whispers)

G|--------|
D|4---2---|then play:
A|--------|
E|--------|

not the right rythm:

G|------------------------3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5|
D|--------2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5----------------| last time cut out
A|5-5-5-5--------------------------------|  the C's
E|---------------------------------------|

Now play Riff2, then Riff1 and you're done.
