                       Crash Car Star
                              by
                    The Smashing Pumpkins


	This song, to my knowledge, was only played at 1998's
Holloween Concert at Dodget Stadium when they played with Kiss,
and is not on any album that I know of.  They may have also
played it on the Arising Tour because I believe it was that
year, but I'm not sure.
	They performed it more than once that night, so there
is more than one version of this song - all of which are on
napster or other web sites if you look hard enough.  This is
the version of the one I have.  Since there is more than one
version, this one may not match the one you have.  On the whole,
the versions are more or less the same.  Hope you like it!

    **there's some kind of weird solo going on here
so I assume that the first guitar is doing this while
the second guitar is doing the solo**

from here you just play 3,4,3 and 5 again twice, then
more of the weird solo with the main riff played underneath.
then this...

                          ^this is arguable, as is most,
if not all, of this last part.  I've changed my mind hundreds
of times about it, but this way sounds good to me.  Also, in
other versions, this entire riff isn't there, so it depends
which you have.

	 I'm not so sure about the tuning, so you'll
just have to mess around with it.  But that sounds more or less
correct.
