CATHERINE - Songs About Girls

     This is the FIRST of many Catherine tabs that
     I will be typing up. This is a great band that
     will be getting a lot of attention soon I bet.
     I suspect that most people that use this tab will
     be from the Smashing Pumpkins Mailing list.
     Anyway, here is my attempt at the first song on
     the Sorry album, Songs About Girls.


    TUNING - Dropped D MajorD (D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

   INTRO/VERSE
   ~~~~~~~~~~~
    First three chords played in clean tone for intro,
    distortion on there after.
     G+G    A augmentedA   C majorC     D MajorD FF E MajorE D MajorD E MajorE
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |--5--5-5--7-7-7--10--10-10-0-3\2-0-2----------------|
   |--5--5-5--7-7-7--10--10-10-0-3\2-0-2----------------|
   |--5--5-5--7-7-7--10--10-10-0-3\2-0-2----------------|
                  ^^^
             This is not a quick slide

    CHORUS
    ~~~~~~
     D MajorD    D#D#
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |---7-b------8---------------------------------------|
   |---7-b------8---------------------------------------|
   |---5-b------6---------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
     ^^^
   Slow gradual bend until next chord.

   Repeat this a few times

   End chorus on the D MajorD but with an open bottom string as well (D MajorD)

   VERSE 2

   CHORUS

   SOLO (sorry....no lead guitar here)
     A augmentedA   G+G A augmentedA  G+G A augmentedA Bb majorBb
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |--7-x-7-5-7--7-5-7--8--8-8--------------------------|
   |--7-x-7-5-7--7-5-7--8--8-8--------------------------|
   |--7-x-7-5-7--7-5-7--8--8-8--------------------------|

   Play this 3 times then play this:
     A augmentedA    G#G#   G+G    F#F#
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |--7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-------------------|
   |--7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-------------------|
   |--7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-------------------|

    Then everything stops and this is played
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |--0--0-0-7--7-5b-(grad.)-0--0-0-7--7-5b (grad.)-----|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|

   Then back to that main thingy.

   Then on one of those I love You bits at the end it plays
   this a few times.
     G+G    A augmentedA   C majorC
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |--5-5-5-5/7-7-7-/10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---------|
   |--5-5-5-5/7-7-7-/10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---------|
   |--5-5-5-5/7-7-7-/10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---------|

     Then the end bit a couple of times.

   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------------------|
   |---------------------------7------------------------|
   |---------------------------7b-----------------------|
   |---------------------------5b-----------------------|
   |--5-5-5-x-5-5-5-x-5-5-5-5---------------------------|

     Then end the song on the G+G
