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

Artist: The Smashing Pumpkins

Album: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (Twilight to Starlight)

Tuning: 1/2 step down

This is the intro:

G|--------------------------------
D|--------------------------------
A|-4-----------3------------------
E|---3-3-0-0-0---1-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3

After you play that 4 times, you play this, which is also the verse:

G|-------------------------------
D|-------------------------------
A|-4--------3--------------------
E|---3-0-0----1-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--

You play that 4 times too, then you play:

G|--------------------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------
E|-3-2-1-1-0-1-1-0-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-2-1-1-0-1-1-0-1-1-1-1-1-1

You play that twice through, then you go back to the verse. It's all pretty

easy to figure out. If you listen to the song, you can place where it all

goes. It's not hard at all. Good luck!
