today -- by Smashing Pumpkins ----- re-Transcribed by Chris Carman (cecarman@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu) re-re-Transcribed by Jason Vertucio (bulletproof0418@hotmail.com) (refer to the chord formations at the end of the file) Chris: Okay, everyone, we've been duped by Billy Corgan. You don't need to capo the first fret or tune down a 1/2 step or anything. Normal tuning, I swear. Jay: Okay, *someone*, whose names I won't mention, Chris, went a little happy with major chords. I for the most part left this file intact, except changing certain major chords to minor chords. I play this as an acoustic, so I ain't sure if the tabs themselves are right or not. But hey, you'll find that out for me I guess, won't ya? By the way, the Cm chord in this song is basically a Cm(VIII) which is 8/10/10/8/8/8 but I didn't feel like trying to fit the (VIII) everywhere. So just keep that in mind. You can also use a regular Cm (x35543) during the verses if you so choose. It makes the playing a lot simpler. Okay. This is the over-talkative Jay V signin' out.
