Title: Thirty Three
Group: The Smashing Pumpkins
Album: Mellon Collie and The Infinite Saddness
      (disc 2: track 3)
Tabbed by: Jon Reisch (Kaazin49@aol.com)

I've seen several versions of this song posted around the
internet, but wasn't satisfied with any of them, so here's
my own work on it.

Chords: o= open string x= not played

     G   C  Dsus2
e    3   o   o           The main problem with other tabs is
b    3   1   3           the Dsus2 chord, which many confuse
g    o   o   2           with simply D. But if you listen
d    o   2   o           carefully you can hear the
a    2   3   o           difference.  Billy uses this chord
E    3   o   x           in Tonight, Tonight too.

Other notes: This is played with three guitars.

Guitar 1: Phaser/flanger w/delay and reverb. (Only plays the
          changes. Phase/Flange and the delay are increased
          after "on my own...)"
Guitar 2: Acoustic (strums chords throughout)
Guitar 3/piano: Clean Electric (plays small lead riff
                                throughout)


Intro: G x3

  C              Dsus2            G
Speak to me...
C Dsus2 G
C Dsus2 G
C Dsus2 G

(let Dsus2 ring) G (as soon as "own..")
on my own....

  C                Dsus2            G
The earth laughs...

Outro: G x4

   For the piano/Clean electric here's what is played:

riff 1:
e|-------------|       Riffs 1&2 are played whenever a G is
b|9-8-9-11-9-8-|       played pretty much. For the intro and
                       outro they alternate, and for the
riff 2:                rest Riff 1 is used almost
e|------11-8---|       exclusively. Just listen to the CD
b|9-8-9------11|       for the timing and changes between
                       the two.

As always comments/suggestions/corrections are welcome! If
anyone has any more specific info on the effects used on
guitar 1, please email me.  Thanks! (Kaazin49@aol.com)
