The Smashing Pumpkins - Bury me

From: cecarman@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu Okay, here's my attempt -- thanks to gloakley@gibbs.oit.unc.edu for sending me 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------| Guitar in: ---- ---- -2-- -0-- hold until next part -0-- -0-- riff 1 harmonics --------(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)---| --3--3--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)---| --2--2--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)---| repeat 8 times until "real...." --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\---| -----------------------------| play that & the riff 1 thing twice -----------------------------| -----------------------------| -----------------------------| Filler 1 She blah blah blah (hold until snare hit) --------------------------------------------| -----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0-------| -----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0-------| -----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0--| -----------------------------------------0--| ---7---6----7---6----7---6----7---6------0--| Riff 2 -- lots of palm muting -------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------| --3h5-5-5-5-5-x\--------------3-3---etc..--| ----------------3-x-5-x-5-7-7--------------| Play four times into "I love my sister so...." and through "would you bury me?" slow bend -- snare shot ---------| --9b10---| ---------| ---------| ---------| ---------| 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 Once you see her...

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. -cecarman@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu
