The Smashing Pumpkins - Eye

the Smashing Pumpkins Eye Off the lost Highway OST (1997)/ Rotten Apples the greatest Hits (2001) Written by Billy Corgan Tabbed by Jimi Eb Pretty much one of the easiest songs. I didnt tell you how often every riff is played. Its just so simple to dis- tinguish. Turn up the basses, no high mids. Some compressor effects and tons of reverb, use a light wha-wha effect on the riffs if you want the sound to be as soft as on the record. Main Riff |----5---------5---------------------| |------------------8-6-5-6-----6-----| |------5---4-5---5---------7-5---5---| |--7-----7---------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| Intro: Main Riff twice Verse: only Bass Darcy |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |------------------5-5-----5-5--------| |--5-5-----3-3------------------------| "Eye waits" When Billy sings "Is it any wonder? I cant sleep" play Main Riff. The next part goes that way: (reverb) |--1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0---| |--1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3---| |--2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0---| |--3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2---| |--3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3---------3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2---| |--1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-x-x-x-x---------1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0---| "Turn to the gates of Heaven" For the bridge without vocals, resume Main Riff, with James playing this: |----------------| |----------------| |--1412/1412---| whammy bar |----------------| |----------------| |----------------| Then the bass continues playing the Verse, while all guitars are completely silent. After this the Main Riffs played another time and the part with the heavy reverb when Billy sings "It is not enough" comes up. The Interludes just Bass over Jamess wha-wha guitar, when Billy sings "Turn to the gates" but the reverbed part is substituted.
