Versions (4)

Auto-scroll

------------------------- by The Smashing Pumpkins >From the Album "Machina II: The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music", available online. Tabbed by John Harvey [email protected] 24.10.2000 ------------------------- Flat Tuning Eb Ab Db Gb I learned this with the aid of a guitar tab of the old acoustic bootleg. This version is a bit different though. I find it's best to keep in time with the guitar, which is 6 beats per bar. / - slide up \ - slide down (you don't have to slide it, but Melissa/D'arcy does sometimes, and I think it sounds nicer =) Riff #1 (intro/verse/outro)
