Soma The Smashing Pumpkins
OK Here it is!
[----]soma -- smashing pumpkins (billy corgan/james iha)

This is my way to play the chords:
[B] [E] [G] [F#] [A] [C] [F] [D]
E------0-----0-----3-----9-----5-----8-----1----10-- B------0-----0-----0-----9-----5-----8-----1----10-- G------8-----9-----0----11-----6-----9-----2----11-- D------9-----9-----0----11-----7----10-----3----12-- A------9-----7-----2-----9-----7----10-----3----12-- E-----(7)---(7)----3-----9-----5-----8-----1----19--
Hints: use chorus, reverb, echo, and Ebows to get it to sound like the record.
Or just have fun with it.

just repeat something similar to the above intro stuff with the rest of the
band until the vocals come in, then play the chords written above the lyrics.
with over 40 guitar tracks on this song alone, the best thing we can hope to do
is approximate it -- hell, on stage, the Pumpkins only have two guitarists.

[for tbe vocals, play sometbing similar to tbe intro w/lead part]
[B]nothing l[E]eft to s[G]ay
[B]and all i've [E]left to [G]do
[B]is run a[E]way from [G]you
and she let me [B]on [E]down
with [G]secrets i can't [B]keep[E]
[play tbat lead part bere for tbe next 4 lines]
[G]close your eyes and [B]sleep[E]
[G]don't wait up for [B]me[E]
[G]hush now don't you [B]speak[E] to [G]me
[crank up tbe mellotron bere...]
[B]wrapped my [E]hurt in [G]you
[B]and took my [E]shelter in that [G]pain
[B]the opi[E]ate of [G]blame
is your broken [B]heart [E]heart your [G]heart
[]
so now [B]i'm all [E]by my[G]self
[B]as i've [E]always [G]felt
and [B]i'll be[E]tray my [G]tears
to any[B]one [E]caught [G]in our ruse of [F#]fools
[B]one last kiss for me yeah[F#]
[B]one last kiss
good [G]night
[solo1] play E G A F# under solo1
Okay, the amazing thing about this solo -- and I sh*t you not -- is that not
only is it on an acoustic guitar (!) driven by an Ebow (!!), but there are
FOURTEEN studio tracks of it! (!!!) So don't worry if this isn't exact. :)
