The Smashing Pumpkins - Bury Me

      
 
 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--

 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... (Chorus thing 2x)
 
 ...just can't hide

 ------------------------------------------
 --------------3-----------------------2--- guitar fades out & it's just Jimmy
 --------------2-----5-----4-----3-----2--- on the skins for four bars
 --------------0-----5-----4-----3-----2---
 --------------0-----3-----2-----1-----0---
 --------------0---------------------------
 

 
 Outro riff 1:

 -------------------------
 ------------------------- repeat 4x alone, then band comes in
 ----------0--------------
 -------13-----13----13---
 -----13-----------13-----
 ---13--------------------
 

 
 I have no idea what those chords are, but try:

 ---0----0---
 ---0----0---
 ---0----0--- for the rest of the song
 ---13---15--
 ---13---15--
 ---13---15--
 

 
 then play:

 --------------------------------------------
 --------------------------------------------
 -------11p9-x------------------------------- play this 3 1/2 times and then
 -------------------------------------------- go into the lead outro..
 ---9-xx-------11-11-11-11b12b11--9-etc...---
 --------------------------------------------
 

 
 lead outro:
 she will...

 -----------------------------------------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------------- repeat 12x under
 ---15p14----14-17p14-14-15-15-15-15-15-15p14----14--etc..-- "she will bury me
 ---------15----------------------------------15------------ she will bury me"

 Feedback, backwards guitar, noise....
 
 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.
