Okay, everyone, we've been duped by Billy Corgan. You don't need to capo the
first fret or tune down a 1/2 step or anything. Normal tuning, I swear.
intro/theme riff
---11----13----11----15p11------ play this cutesy little riff ------11----11----11-------11--- 4x solo, then 8x with band -------------------------------- behind playing these dist. -------------------------------- chords: -------------------------------- --------------------------------
[Eb5] [Bb] [Ab]
[Eb5] [Bb] [Ab]
[Eb5] [Bb] [C] [Ab]
[Eb5] [Bb] [Ab]
The lead part is as follows:
repeat six times then do: vib.
--------------------- --------------------8------- ------8-----8h9p8---- ------8-------8h9------8---- --8-8---8-8-------8-- --8-8---8-8-8------------8-- --------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------- ----------------------------
[Eb5] Tod[Bb]ay is the gr[Ab]eatest day I've ever known
[Eb5] Can't [Bb]live for to[Ab]morrow, tomorrow's much too long
[Eb5] I'll [Bb]burn my [Ab]eyes out
[Eb5] Bef[Bb]ore I g[C]et out
[F] I [Ab]wanted [C]more [F] than [Ab]life could [C]ever grant me
[F] Bored [Ab]by the [C]chore [F] of [Ab]saving [G]face[D5/A]
The lead part over the above chords is really simple, play it on
the first and third times, over the C (8th fret) chord:
slow bend w/vib
---------------- ------5b7------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
[Eb5] Tod[Bb]ay is the g[Ab]reatest day I've ever known
[Eb5] Can't [Bb]wait for to[Ab]morrow, I might not have that long
[Eb5] I'll [Bb]tear my [Ab]heart out [Eb5] bef[Bb]ore I [C]get out
Play this lead part above the second verse (clean guitar):

[F] Pink [Ab]ribbon [Eb5]scars that [Bb]never forget
[F] I've [Ab]tried so h[Eb5]ard to [Bb]cleanse these regrets
[F] My [Ab]angel wings [Eb5] were [Bb]bruised and restrained
[F] My [Ab]belly [G]stin[D5/A]gs
[Eb5] Tod[Bb]ay is..[Eb5] tod[Ab]ay is..[Eb5] tod[Bb]ay is..[Eb5] the [Ab]greatest..

[Eb5] Tod[Bb]ay is the g[C]reatest.. [Ab]day..[Eb5] I [Bb]have [C]ever [Ab]really [Eb5]known.
The lead parts in the outro are the clean cutesy riff, the
hammer-on 8th fret riff, and this:
vib sustain

Then end with the Eb chord and a trem bend down.
