To Forgive by Smashing Pumpkins Intro: |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |--------7-----2--------4----4----4--2--0------------------------------------| |----5-------0------2-----2----2-----------2---------------------------------| |-3--------2------0----------------------------------------------------------| The rest of the song is correct in the other tabs...just thought I'd send my version of the intro. Remember the tuning is Eb. I think the rattling in the background is the rattle of the drums. You'll recognize it if you've ever played in a room with drums. Enjoy. :-) Alex Spitzer.

TO FORGIVE

One of the most emotional sounding songs on the
double CD... great stuff.

Really unsure about the open strings up there :)
CHORUS - Main riff except where it says "Nothing is Important"
it goes to this instead of the normal bit.

the song's tuned a half step down to Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb
main riff:
D9/G A5/F# B5/E a
e--------0----------------------------
b-------2-----------------------------
g-----3-------------------------------
d-------------2--2----4--4----4-------
a-----------0---0---2---2--2-2---2-0--
e-3-------2-------0-------------------
repeats 2x then:
B C# A E F# G
g--4--/6-------------------------------------
d--4--/6--7----2--/4--5----------------------
a--2--/4--7----2--/4--5----------------------
e---------5----0--/2--3----------------------
(band comes in here)
repeats 2x then back to main riff for verse
ten times...
goes to chords when he goes 'right as rain'
B C# A E F# G
then chorus you strum these chords in half notes until the B5/E:
holding back... .
G D/F# E B5/E a
g--0-----------------2------------------------
d--0-----------------0-------2---4--4----4----
a--2-----------------0-------2-2---2--2-2--2-0
e--3-----------------2-------0----------------
G D/F# E B5/E a
g--0-----------------2------------------------
d--0-----------------0-------2---4--4----4----
a--2-----------------0-------2-2---2--2-2--2-0
e--3-----------------2-------0----------------
G D/F# B A
g--0----------------2---------4------------2-----
d--0----------------0---------4------------2-----
a--2----------------0---------2------------0-----
e--3----------------2----------------------------
G D/F# E B5/E a
g--0-----------------2------------------------
d--0-----------------0-------2---4--4----4----
a--2-----------------0-------2-2---2--2-2--2-0
e--3-----------------2-------0----------------
then the verse part again .
this time on the verse it stays on the riff without going to the chords
then, on the chorus the last time, instead of going down to the E:
holding back...
G D/F# A
g--0-----------------2--------2--
d--0-----------------0--------2--
a--2-----------------0--------0--
e--3-----------------2-----------
then there's some cool synth part that I haven't figured out yet. and
the chords keep going up the neck until you hit a G on the 10th fret.
That's pretty much all there is to the song. you'll have to listen to
it to get the exact rhythms right, but I think the notes are all
right. =P
