quiet -- by smashing pumpkins (billy corgan)

-----

This song is one of the easier ones on the album. Lots of heavy,

fat distortion, turn up the treble & bass and cut the mids.

Do several tremelo bends, down then up, 4x until the drum intro.

slide up

then down Riff 1

Play this chorus riff 3x then the held note ending:

---9--9-0----0---0--0--0---x-x---9\7------(x)\(0)-----|

For the second verse, play the Riff 1 section 12x and then do the

chorus again, all the way through until the hold.

To get that harmonic sliding effect, place your finger above the

12th fret on the high E string and slide down slowly, plucking

straight 16th note harmonics until you end up above the 7th fret

at the beginning of the 4th beat. Do this four times under "We

are the fossils, the relics of our time... etc".

At the hold, hold for 8 beats, then play this 32nd-note strumming

pattern, similar to the end of Cherub Rock:

w h h q q q q e e e e e e e e

G|--4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-x\--|

A|--2-3-4-5-6-7-8--9--10-11-12-13-14-15-x\--|
E|------------------------------------------|

Under the guitar solo, play the main chorus part 3x and this

pattern the fourth time:

e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--11-11-----------------------11\9--9-9-9--9-9--9/12-12-12-12\---|

E|---9--9--0-----0---0--0--x-x---9\7--7-7-7--7-7--7/10-10-10-10\---|

Now here's where it gets interesting... Riff 1 is altered into a

3/4 time signature, with three measures of 3/4 time connected to

a measure of 4/4 time. Play this entire sequence 4x, 2x without

vocals, 2x under "quiet, i am sleeping...". At the end of the

4th time through, slide up to an B(7th fret E string) power chord

instead of going back down to the E power chord.

repeat this section 3 times

e|        ||-------------------------------||
B|        ||-------------------------------||
G|[3/4]   ||*-----------------------------*||

E|        |--0-2-2-2--2/3-3-3--3/5-5-5--0-0-0-0--|

The lead part out of the solo into the changing time signatures

is as follows (you need to either play it with a Boss Ocataver or

deal with it not sounding very full-.. play twice before the

vocals (play the notes in the [] to get the octave effect-:

vib. vib.

e|---12/14--12----12/14--12------|
B|--------------------------12---|
G|---[9/11]-[9]---[9/11]-[9]-----|
D|--------------------------[9]--|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|

Then the outro is back into 4/4 time, the normal chorus pattern

8x all the way through to the end, where it stops on the E chord

the eighth time through. Here's the lead part for the outro,

starting halfway through the 4th repeat:

Lyrics to Quiet:

Quiet, I am sleeping,

In here, we need a little hope

For years, I've been sleeping

Helpless, couldn't tell a soul

Be ashamed

Mess you've made

My eyes never forget, you see

Behind me

Silent metal mercies

Castrate boys to the bone

Jesus, are you listening

Up there, to anyone at all

We are the fossils, the relics of our time

Mutilate the meanings so they're easy to deny

Be ashamed

Of the mess you've made

My eyes never forget, you see

Behind me

Quiet, quiet

I am sleeping

Quiet, quiet

I am sleeping

Quiet, shut up

I don't trust you

Shut up, shut up

I can't hear you

Be ashamed

Of the mess you've made

My eyes never forget, you see

Behind me

Behind me, the grace of falling snow

Cover up everything you know

Come save me from the awful sound

Of nothing

Thanks (in part) to Guitar World magazine

(refer to the chord formations at the end of the file)

Okay, everyone, we've been duped by Billy Corgan. You don't need to capo the

first fret or tune down a 1/2 step or anything. Normal tuning, I swear.

hummer -- by smashing pumpkins (billy corgan)

------

This song is a little tougher than the earlier three because it's a lot longer

and a bit more complicated. First, tune your low E string (6th string) down a

whole step to a D. The intro is a sitar-like line with some weird noise

gate/static effect:

Repeat 10x

guitar solo, very fuzzed out

to play this solo completely correct, you're going to have to tranpose up

an octave, and then slap some of that Octaver on there, but I thought it

would just be easier if I transcribed it in the lower octave... go buy that

effect, or an Octave Fuzz....

Lyrics to Hummer:

Faith lies in the ways of sin

Chased the charmed but I don't want them anymore

And in their eyes I was alive -- a fool's disguise

Take me away from here

Shame my tongue fat with promise all along

When I woke up from that sleep

I was happier than I'd ever been

When you decide that your life is a prize

Renew, revive, it's all right honey, it's all right, yeah

Happines will make you wonder

Will I feel ok

It scared the disenchanted

Far away

Yeah, I want something new

But what am I supposed to do

I-I, I love you

Yeah, I-I love you

It's true

Life's a bummer, when you're a hummer

Life's a drag

Ask yourself a question, anyone but me, I ain't free

Ask yourself a question, anyone but me, I ain't free

Do you feel

Love is real?

------

rocket -- by smashing pumpkins (billy corgan)

------

Okay, after the nearly-seven-minute-long Hummer, the chops deserve a

little break, and that's what this tune, Rocket, provides us with. The

most interesting and exciting thing about this song is the prominent the

of the Boss Octave pedal in combination with the slide/bend guitar. To

acheive this effect, you need to turn down the direct level on the Octave

pedal, and turn up both the 1 Octave Down and 2 Octave Down knobs. This

creates a very thick pseudo-synth guitar sound that make this song what it

is. Anyways, here we go:

intro (from Guitar World March 94, the rest is mine)

repeat 3x------------------|then play this 1x keep repeating this

| main riff through

e|--------------------5---------------------------5-------| the first verse up
B|------3----5p3---3----------------3----------3----------| until the chorus
G|----0---0------0------0-3-------0---0--5p0-0------0-3---|
D|--5---------------------------5-------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|

Some little tremolo guitar floats through in the second bar after the intro:

-----

--7--

--7-- or something like that, just turn up the tremolo knob on your amp ;)

-----

--5--

-----

Bleed in your own light dream of your own life

I miss me I miss everything

right before the chorus play these two chords (or something similar):

e|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|
G|--5-5--5-5-5----------------------|
D|--2-2--5-5-5--etc-----------------|
A|--0-0--3-3-3----------------------|
E|----------------------------------|

everything... I'll never be

G D F C G D F C

and on and on...

G D F C

I torch my soul to show the world that I am pure deep inside my

G D F C

heart....heart no lie...(??)

the lead line over the chorus is as follows:

e|------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------10--------13------10p8---|  repeat this
G|---0--0--0-----11--11----14--14---9----9--|  4x
D|------------/12-------/15-------10--------|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|

now here's the beginning of that interesting octave pedal work. This

part does not use a slide, but make the B string bends very fast.

Repeat this entire line 2x with the main riff underneath.

with octave pedal

e|------------------------------------------------------------------5h7-7b8b7--|
B|-6-8-8b10b8--6-8-8b10b8--6-8-8b10b8---6-8-8b10b8--6-8-8b10b8--6h8------------|
G|------------------------------------4----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Now under the 2nd verse, along with the main riff, play this part. Turn the

direct volume all the way down and turn Octave & Octave 2 all the way up,

and break out the slide. If you don't have an octave pedal or a slide, play

the bottom notes in the brackets -- that's the equivalent, only not synth.

Another way to play it is to do bends, which is tough, but effective.

A crown of thorns, an image formed, deformed

The mark I've borne, a mark of scorn.. to you

e|---12\10--7/10--------------------------7\5----8\7---7/10----|
B|----------------10/12--10\8------10\8------------------------|

A|---[7\5]-[2/5]-----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------[5/7]--[5\3]-----[5\3]-[7\5]--[8\7]-[7/10]---|

Now play these chords over the lyrics with the following lead:

C G

Consume my love devour my hate only powers my escape

C D

The moon is out the stars invite I think I'll leave tonite

use slow bends: fast bends:

e|---8b10-----------12b15---10b12-10-10--8-10-10b12b10-10--8-10-10b12b10-10-|

break and play this super fuzzed-out riff twice alone, and repeat it through

climb:

Main Riff again:

So Bad

When I can I will

Words defy the plans

When I can I will

Fool enough to almost be it

Cool enough to not quite see it

And dull enough to always feel it

Always old I always feel this

No more promise no more sorrow

No longer will I follow

Can anybody hear me

I just want to be me

And when I can I will

Try to understand

That when I can I will

Guitar#1 plays intro riff, and Guitar#2 plays outro solo:

e|------------0----2p0------/5----2-2h5-2----|
B|------3p2------------2-2/3--------------5--|
G|-0/2------2--------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------| fade out....

Hope this helps,

Finally, an acoustic song! of course, that's excluding Disarm...

This song is actually pretty easy, if you disregard the violin & cello..

Main riff:

play this main acoustic riff throughout most of the song, or play the chords

marked in the lyrics....

Feel it break your bones mr. jones

Taste me as I bleed, taste my need

G Am(i) Em(i)

Spaceboy, I've missed you, spinning round my head

C(i) G D Em

I want to go home, I want to go home...

sweet sweet -- by smashing pumpkins (billy corgan)

-----------

[Tab courtesy of Jesse Scott, contact him for comments.]

Here's my TAB for Sweet Sweet - It's the simplest song on SD.. If anyone

thinks it's wrong tell me where I screwed up.

TAB by jesse.scott@baroque.tvk.tsoft.net

TUNING: "Dropped-G" (Low/High E G D G B E) Tune your A string down a

full-step to G

Notes: This is probably the simplest Pumpkins song,

just two chord, the only wierd things are the

alternate tuning and the wierd voicings.

Also, the strumming pattern may not be exact

but it's as close as I could tab it.

Voicings:

G - x00007

C - x55050

Main Riff:

Just repeat this through the entire song

G C

End on the wierd the C chord and slide down the neck.
