Soma by the smashing pumpkins siamese dream album. tabbed by Jacob Schieb Note- if this tab is offlined... just copy and past it to notepad or whatever and fontsize it to 8 or 10. I love this song. If one song should be played for the rest of our lives it should be this song. It's hard at first but with time youll gt it. It did anyway. ok the song is played using standard tunning. chords used: B F#7sus G Em A F#sus E5 F#5 G5 D5 C5 D5/A E e-7--0-------3--0---0--x------x---x----x---x---x---x-----x- b-7--0-------3--0---2--x------x---x----x---x---x---x-----8- g-8--4-------4--0---2--4------x---x----x---x--(7)-(7)----9- d-9--4-------5--2---2--4------2---4----5--(7)--7---7-----9- a-9--4-------5--2---0--4------2---4----5---7---5---5-----7- e-7--2-------3--0---x--2------0---2----3---5---x---5-----x- power chords: A C G f B E G [---------------- [---------------- [---------------- [-7-10-5-3-9-2-5- [-7-10-5-3-9-2-5- [-5-9--3-1-7-0-3- tempo=64 (slow rock) intro: Gtr.1 >fig.a< clean electric w/chorus (left channel) [-----------------------0-----------------------------------------------] [------0---0----------------------------12----12-12---------12-------0--] [------8---0--------9-----0-------------0-----0--0--0----12----12-------] [----9---9--------9---9--------------12----12---------------------12----]x2 [--9---------7--------------------10------------------10----------------] [-----------------------------------------------------------------------] Gtr.2 >fig.a< clean electric w/chorus [-------------------------0---------------------------------------------] [------0--------------0-------------------------------------------------] [------8---8------9---------(9)/-----------------4----------------------] [----9---9------9---9---9----------------5------------5-----------5-----] [--9---------7-----------------------5------5---------------5-----------] [---------------------------------3-------------------------------------] [---------------------7-------------------------------------------------] [------0----------------7-----------------------------------------------] [------8---8------9-------9----------------------4---------------0------] [----9---9------9---9--------------------5------------5--------5--------] [--9---------7-----------------------5------5----------------5-----5\10-] [---------------------------------3-------------------------------------] Gtr.1 [-----------------------0-----------------------------------------------] [------0---0-----------------------------3-------3-----------3-------0--] [------8---0--------9-----0--------------0-------0-----------0-------0--] [----9---9--------9---9--------------4------5--------4h5--5----4h5-5----] [--9---------7--------------------5-------------------------------------] [-----------------------------------------------------------------------] Gtr.2 [-------------------------0---------------------------------------------] [------0--------------0-------------------------------------------------] [------8---8------9---------(9)/---------------------4------------------] [----9---9------9---9---9----------------5----------------5--------5----] [--9---------7-----------------------5------5------------------5--------] [---------------------------------3-------------------------------------] Gtr.1 [-----------------------0-----------------------------------------------] [------0---0----------------------------12----12-12---------12-------0--] [------8---0--------9-----0-------------0-----0--0--0----12----12-------] [----9---9--------9---9--------------12----12---------------------12----] [--9---------7--------------------10------------------10----------------] [-----------------------------------------------------------------------] Gtr.2 [---------------------7-------------------------------------0-----------] [------0----------------7--------------------------------------0--------] [------8---8------9-------9-------------------4-------------------0-----] [----9---9------9---9-------------------5-----------5---------------(5)-] [--9---------7-----------------------5-----5-------------5--------------] [---------------------------------3-------------------------------------] Gtr.1 >fig.b< [-----------------------------------------------------------------------] [--------------------0---0---0---0-----------------------0---0---0----0-] [-8--------8\9--11/7---6---4---2-----8--------8\9--11--12--11-\14--/9---] [-----9h11-------------------------------9h11---------------------------] [-----------------------------------------------------------------------](x2) [-----------------------------------------------------------------------] Gtr.2 >fig.b< B E G B E G [-7----------------3-----------------7----------------3-----------------] [-7----------8-----3-----------------7----------8-----3-----------------] [-8----------9-----4-----------------8----------9-----4-----------------] [-9----------9-----5-----------------9----------9-----5-----------------](x2) [-9----------7-----5-----------------9----------7-----5-----------------] [-7----------------3-----------------7----------------3-----------------] verse's:

Here is that little intro solo played with an ebow on an acoustic (good luck trying to reproduce this sound, it's hard BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE) if you don't have an ebow or dont know what it is simply play this in a lite sounding effect to give it a bedtime sleepy sound.
