The Smashing Pumpkins - For Martha

      
 
 the Smashing Pumpkins
 Off Adore (1998)
 Written by Billy Corgan
 Eb 
  
 This is really a piano song but I was able to arrange
 these parts for guitar. James does simply chords and
 the solo on his electric.
 
 Intro:
 
 Piano; James´ chords underneath the tab.

 Verse:
 
 F#m        C#m 
 Whenever I run,
 
 F#m               C#m         
 wherever I run to you lost one
 
 F#m       C#m   
 It´s never done,
 
 Bm           E 
 just hanging on
 
 Pre - Chorus:
 
 Now Billy turns to the chords, while Jame does the lead, it´s doubled by
 a second Piano
 
 D 
  
 F#m                 D 
 The past has let me be
 
 F#m              D   
 Returning as if dream
 
 F#m       E  Bm    
 Shattered as belief
 
 Always between the lyrics:
 
 James 3x

 Then the part with the "But for the grace of love?" vocals:
