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.

 --------------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
She don't smother me
I played the spades I know
I'm a Jack of all trades... would you bury me?
Once you see her
One inside
Some things you just can't hide
If you see her
Tell me why
Why won't she come outside?
She will... bury me.
She will... bury me.
