Soma tab by The Smashing Pumpkins
Guitar Tab
Chris Carman (cecarman@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu -- tab) Patrick A. Nast (Patrick.Nast@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de -- chords & lyrics) Author/Artist: Smashing Pumpkins Title: Soma Album: Siamese Dream Transcribed by: Allen DeMoura Email: asdf@RandomLetters.cc Gosh I love this song, and for everyone else who does, I made this tab. It is painstakingly correct, and I included all the variations instead of saying, "change it up a little bit for the second verse." or someting to that effect. This work is all mine except the solo, which was taken from the above, since I saw no point in taking the time to transcribe it when it was right there already. NOTE: The solo may or may not be correct, thats your call. I did not do it b/c I am lazy. If you've got a problem with the solo, contact the adress in the tab above. I, however, am completely open to anyone who is willing to tab the solo, Advice: Hold your pick very loosely for the clean parts to get that lazy sound, and set your delay's time to about 7. IMPORTANT: It may be harder, but for the best sound, let the chords ring out while you play the notes after them (Guitar 1, Verse).
