Tuning:1/2 Step Down


There isn't a great deal to this song, guitar wise. It's the whole band that makes this
not just James and Billy,
I've just tabbed what i can hear without having to go into to much depth with stuff you
barely hear.
 Pretty much this whole tab is James's section.Billy play the chords,there are 3 tabs of
chords on
this site already and all three seem pretty good.
The interlude or what ever that quite part is in the middle is Billy playing and James
in
with his awesome guitar and effects which I've tabbed out... once again if someone can
better than my
tab please e-mail me!

This goes on for ages and it's anothing one of those improvised jams the pumpkins do.
I've done as much as i can work out the symbols and percussion are to much.
can help me out that would be awesome send me an e-mail. Billy's part goes through the
whole part.
He just doesn't play the 17--19b part he repeats the 7-9-10-12-5
