"Stumbleine" by the Smashing Pumpkins
Taken from the album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Lyrics written by Billy Corgan and music by the Smashing Pumpkins

Well this is all from ear, and the majority of this sounds like it is
concentrated on picking the D and G strings while adding either the bass
E or high E, and a few times both. Unlike Landslide, which is picked
pretty randomly, I'm pretty sure there is a followed pattern. Suggestions,
corrections, and comments are welcome.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Tuned down 1/2 step like all of Mellon Collie.

s= slide

					(Just single pick the Eb string,it's easier)
Boredoms in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth
Sally's in the stirrups, claiming her destiny
And nobody nowhere understands anything (stop in middle of Fig 1 to Fig 2)

About me	               And all...... my dreams       Lost at sea

(Intro again)

(Back to FIG 1)
Jack it up Judy, set your heart alight
Mayfair mistress of the satellites
Misspent youth- faking up a rampage...

(FIG 2)
to hold off       The real...... slaves         Paid off  and staid

(directly to:)

(for full effect, each time slide your bass Eb down as you are picking)

And what you never knew    | Can never get to you | So fake it

(Repeat chorus again)
I'll be your stumbleine    | I'll be your super queen | And make you


Back to FIG 1:

(for this first one just slide up to 7th fret and wait until 5th bass
picking part would normally start then pick it up)

Jukebox fuckup, hanging round the drugstore
No matter what you say he'll be back for more
Mommy's in the manger with the little kids
She's got more reasons, she's got my forgets

FIG 2:

Of tears	 and idle threats		misplaced

FIG 3:

And no matter what they do  |  They can't get to you  |  So fake it
I'll be your stumbleine     |  I'll be your super queen | And you make me

Back to FIG 1:

Come around Ruby, I could never sleep alone

(and stop right before the intro picking part)



YOUR WELCOME!!
