Bury Me tab by The Smashing Pumpkins
Guitar Tab
Okay, here's my attempt -- thanks to gloakley@gibbs.oit.unc.edu for sending me his try at the tab, which I borrowed the lyrics and the break part from. Bury Me -- by Smashing Pumpkins (billy corgan) ------- Okay, first thing's first: tune your low E down to a low D. There, that's what Billy Corgan calls "grunge tuning".... Beginning bass riff: (bass may or may not tune down, it's tabbed here without tuning down) ----------------------------- ----------------------------- --3h5-5-5-5\------------3-3-- etc. ------------x-1-3-x-5-5------

Chorus 1
Once you see her...
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
---5/7-7-7-7\x--------------5-5----------------- repeat 3x
---5/7-7-7-7\x--3-x-5-x-7-x-5-5-----------------
---3/5-5-5-5\x--3-x-5-x-7-x-3-3--etc...---------
----------------3-x-5-x-7-x---------------------
...some things you just can't hide
------------------
------------------
----------5------- go back to chorus 1... you get the idea
---7--7-7-5---5---
---7--7-7-3---5---
---7--7-7-----5---
Then the break... the second guitar (james) plays a D chord in different
intervals while Billy goes nuts. Then, once Billy goes into his solo, they
play the Chorus 1 part 4x, and then they play Filler 1 to finish out the solo,
and then they go back into the normal Chorus structure. Simple! ;)
