Song

Title: Starla

Artist: Smashing Pumpkins

Album: Pisces Iscariot

Tuning: E A D G

Come in (quietly) after the guitar plays its riff twice

Riff 1

G|-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
E|0h0-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--|

Go up to a D when he says "I'm here", then return to A.

When the guitar goes distorted keep the same pattern.

Riff 2 is played during the soft part:

Riff 2

G|-----------------------------------------------|
D|7-7-7--7-7--7-7-7--7-7-------------------------|
A|-----------------------5-5-5--5-5--5-5-5--5-5--|
E|-----------------------------------------------|

Then go back up to Riff 1

And this is the Riff for the Climbing part that finishes

The Song (NOTE: hold each note as needed)

Riff 3

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

and that would make this the end of the song
