Tuning: E A D G B e (Standard)

Hey,

This is a very beautiful, yet straightforward song. I would like to start off
by thanking mberning over at smashingpumpkins.com for starting me off with the
right chords:

	Am	C	 D	 F	 E	 E7
	0	 0	 2	 1	 0	 0
	1	 1	 3	 1	 0	 3
	2	 0	 2	 2	 1	 1
	2	 2	 0	 3	 2	 2
	0	 3	 0	 0	 2	 2
	0	 0	 0	 0	 0	 0

These are repeated in order throughout the verses. During the breaks between
verses the order goes.

	Am	C	D	Am	C	D	F	E	E7

So that's that. If you want to get the sound closer to the song, some chord
manipulation must occur. The alternations vary, and here's my best guess:

Am — Hammer on your pinky on the B string, then pull off your pinky, then
     index finger, then hammer on with your index again. Kind of like this

e|————0——————————————|
B|————1h3p1—1p0h1————|
G|————2——————————————|
D|————2——————————————|
A|————0——————————————|
E|————0——————————————|

C and D — After the initial strum, pick each string of the chord

F — Pull off and hammer on your middle finger

E — After the first beat, place your pinky finger on the second fret of 
the 'G' string, then take it back off

e|————0————0————0————|
B|————0————0————0————|
G|————1————2————1————|
D|————2————2————2————|
A|————2————2————2————|
E|————0————0————0————|


Also, If you're like me, you really like that little intro riff he plays:

e|—————————————————————————|
B|—————————————————————————|
G|—————————7h9p7——5h7——/9——|
D|—————————————————————————|
A|————0————————————————————|
E|—————————————————————————|




I really hope you guys enjoy the song as well as this tab. I was just recently
introduced to the Pumpkins by a friend of mine and I would like to thank her
very much for doing so. This is my first tab and I tried to be as accurate
as possible, I know how you fans can be sometimes. :)

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

(Thanks to my Smashing Pumpkins friend for helping me with the changes!)
