Bury Me  The Smashing Pumpkins

his try at the tab, which I borrowed the lyrics and the break part from.
Bury Me -- by Smashing Pumpkins (billy corgan)
 
 -------

Okay, first thing's first: tune your low E down to a low D. There, that's what
Billy Corgan calls "grunge tuning"....
Beginning bass riff: (bass may or may not tune down, it's tabbed here without
tuning down)
 
 -----------------------------
 -----------------------------
 --3h5-5-5-5\------------3-3-- etc.
 ------------x-1-3-x-5-5------

 --0--0--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)---
 --0--0--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)---

Lead part: play after playing riff 1 four times --
Then stop & play:
Real..heh...heh eal love (riff 1)
 
 -----------------------------
 ----7-----5----4-b5b4---2\---

 -----------------------------

Chorus 1
Once you see her...
 
 ------------------------------------------------
 ------------------------------------------------
 ---5/7-7-7-7\x--------------5-5----------------- repeat 3x
 ---5/7-7-7-7\x--3-x-5-x-7-x-5-5-----------------
 ---3/5-5-5-5\x--3-x-5-x-7-x-3-3--etc...---------
 ----------------3-x-5-x-7-x---------------------

...some things you just can't hide
 
 ------------------
 ------------------
 ----------5------- go back to chorus 1... you get the idea
 ---7--7-7-5---5---
 ---7--7-7-3---5---
 ---7--7-7-----5---

Then the break... the second guitar (james) plays a D chord in different
intervals while Billy goes nuts. Then, once Billy goes into his solo, they
play the Chorus 1 part 4x, and then they play Filler 1 to finish out the solo,
and then they go back into the normal Chorus structure. Simple! ;)
[D] [D] [D] [D] 
 
 ---------------------------------------------------
 ----9b10--------7-7-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-8p7-8p7/10--- into the impossible solo
 ----------11----7-7-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-7---7-------- .. even in the demo
 --------------------------------------------------- version I have, it's
 --------------------------------------------------- impossible.

Solo yank yank

 ------------------------------------------
 --------------3-----------------------2--- guitar fades out & it's just Jimmy
 --------------2-----5-----4-----3-----2--- on the skins for four bars
 --------------0-----5-----4-----3-----2---
 --------------0-----3-----2-----1-----0---

Outro riff 1:
 
 -------------------------
 ------------------------- repeat 4x alone, then band comes in
 ----------0--------------
 -------13-----13----13---
 -----13-----------13-----
 ---13--------------------

I have no idea what those chords are, but try:
 
 ---0----0---
 ---0----0---
 ---0----0--- for the rest of the song
 ---13---15--
 ---13---15--
 ---13---15--

then play:
 
 --------------------------------------------
 --------------------------------------------
 -------11p9-x------------------------------- play this 3 1/2 times and then
 -------------------------------------------- go into the lead outro..
 ---9-xx-------11-11-11-11b12b11--9-etc...---
 --------------------------------------------

lead outro:
she will...
 
 -----------------------------------------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------------- repeat 12x under
 ---15p14----14-17p14-14-15-15-15-15-15-15p14----14--etc..-- "she will bury me
 ---------15----------------------------------15------------ she will bury me"

Feedback, backwards guitar, noise....
Lyrics:
Real love
Real love
Share your kisses, take your heart
Everything if it hurts
I love my sister so <on shine>
She don't smother me <on shine on shine>
I played the spades I know <on shine>
I'm a Jack of all trades... would you bury me?
Once you see her
One inside <ide..ide>
Some things you just can't hide
If you see her
Tell me why <hy..hy>
Why won't she come outside?
She will... bury me.
She will... bury me.
