Song

Song;Hello Kitty Kat

From; Smashing Pumpkins

Album; Pisces Iscariot

This song is pretty easy minus the lead. I know most of the lead but it will

take me too long to type it out. Use lots of distortion.

After the drum intro comes this riff-

(Riff A)

e|-----------------------------------------------------------|
b|-----------------------------------------------------------|
g|-----------------------------------------------------------|
d|--4---4---4---4------4---4---4---4-------------------|
a|--4---4---4---4------4---4---4---4-------------------|
e|--2---2---2---0h2---2---2---2---0h2---------------|

This is repeated through the first verse.

Then comes the chorus-

(RIFF B)

e|---------------------------------------------------------|
b|---------------------------------------------------------|
g|---------------------------------------------------------|
d|---6---6---6---2---2---2---6---6---6---2---2---2|
a|---6---6---6---2---2---2---6---6---6---2---2---2|
e|---4---4---4---0---0---0---4---4---4---0---0---0|

The second verse goes like this

Play Riff A a few times then play;

(I'll call this riff C)

e|-----------------------------------------------|
b|-----------------------------------------------|
g|-----------------------------------------------|
d|---9---9---9---2----------------------------|
a|---9---9---9---2----------------------------|
e|---7---7---7---0----------------------------|

For the second chorus it's the same as the first (Riff B) except every once

in a while it adds a B (B=Power chord on 7th fret).

Then during the solo the rhythem plays-

RIFF D

e----------------------------------------------------------

b----------------------------------------------------------

g----------------------------------------------------------

d-11-11-11--11---2----11--11--11---11---2---9
a-11-11-11--11---2----11--11--11---11---2---9
e--9---9---9---9----0-----9----9----9----9----0---7

And (also during solo) plays this

e----------------------------------

b----------------------------------

g----------------------------------

d--9--6--6---6---2---2---2--6
a--9--6--6---6---2---2---2--6
e--7--4--4---4---0---0---0--4

The strumming patterns aren't very accurate for these.

I'll take a shot at the lyrics-

WITH RIFF A

Say Hello Before you say goodbye

I should go before you make me cry

She wants to bleed

Every drop inside of me

But I aim to please

The little girl inside of me

To--------------

WITH RIFF B

Yeh heh------

Didn't want to hurt yourself

Oh no---------

I always play? (say??,stay??????)

I don't wanna live when we aways win

Who's sorry now?

Who's sorry now?

If I show you how

Will you let me down

(SOLO)

(I'm very unsure about this part)

WITH RIFF C

Sting the (?) and (?) Oh-------

Love to love to love what you adore--

I can give you in (DON"T KNOW)

To-------------

With RIFF B

Same as first chorus

RIFF D

My love is madness?

My love is oh so raw

my love is sadness

My love is oh so strong

Might give away the child?

My Love is fucking strong

MORE LYRICS-------

Then some moans

Then another chorus
