THE AEROPLANE FLIES HIGH (turns left, looks right)
SMASHING PUMPKINS
you know who wrote it
tabbed by Tyler Wyse
DROP D tuning (not DROP Db)
I've only had the box since Saturday so I haven't had a chance to figure out
anything but the main riff.

Smashing Pumpkins - "The aeroplane flies high (turns left, looks right)"
>From the single "The aeroplane flies high (turns left, looks right)"
taken from the album "Mellon Collie and the infinite sadness"
Written by Billy Corgan
Ok, first this is my first tab ever and I`m really not a good guitar
player, but hey ! Rome wasn't built in a day, I`m just begining to
learn !. I`m pretty sure that this song is played 1\2 step tuned down
(tab is represented normal tuning) This song is real easy and you
should understand it by looking at this tab. I wonder if someone out
there would be kind enough to explain to me how to "D tune" the
guitar, and "1\2 step down", "low to high", and other things of
interest. Any really big SP fans out there like me ? Hey ! They rock
BIG TIME ! I met Billy and the band earlier this year, I collect
bootlegs and whatever one may find with the band. Got the "aeroplane
flies high box set" yet ? If you haven't, go get it if you can cuz
there's only like 5000 in the world ! I`ve got it and u should too !
If u got some SP bootlegs and want to trade or sell, contact me ! And
maybe I`ve got some that I might give up !

Repeat throughout the whole song :
x8 x5 x3 x11 x2 x2 x1
|--2---1---0---6---9----4---4-----------------------------------------------
|--2---1---0---6---9----4---4-----------------------------------------------
|--3---2---1---7---10---5---5-----------------------------------------------
|--4---3---2---8---11---6---6-----------------------------------------------
|--4---3---2---8---11---6---6-----------------------------------------------
|--2---1---0---6---9----4---0-----------------------------------------------
(at some point the distortion kicks in (and later it goes off), you'll know
when just by
listening to the cd, it's a simple song, I don't know the solo !)
