It took me hours to figure out this tab so I hope you like it. For corrections or comments just e ? mail to: flooos@gmx.net. If you can help me with rare Pumpkins Songs like  Real Love  or  Untitled  you can also contact me. This is my second version of Slow dawn that?s posted. I have corrected the tuning of the guitars.

Watch out - I didn?t write down the alternative Tuning for James Tab lines.
