Tiberius Tab by The Smashing Pumpkins

Tiberius tab by The Smashing Pumpkins

Guitar Tab

Band: Smashing Pumpkins
Album: Monuments to an Elegy
Song: Tiberius
Tuning: DADGBE
=======================================================================================================
Notes:
* Drop D tuning
* The last D chord in the intro is hammered onto the opening F chord
* Breakdown: you can simply play this part using the 0, 10, 12, and 13 frets only,
  but in slowing down the part I can clearly hear the higher note on the A string.
* Outro: the additional guitar is more prevalent in the mix, but the Lead part with the  fewer notes
  is the one that carrier over from the previous section.
* Refrain 3: one note difference with the typical rhythm -
  the Bb chord (8th fret) instead of the G chord (5th fret)
