The next two bars lead into the verses. The verses use the last bar (repeated twice) and then D and A for 2 beats each. The chorus goes something like: D A C G The bridge is E D (D5') A C G/D(D5') I think that's most of it. you might try moving ther chords up and down the neck. I've never seen it played live so i'm really not sure how billy corgan does it.
