Blue, from "Lull" (Rhinoceros EP) - Smashing Pumpkins
====

-Although the bass is drop D tuning, the guitars are regular tuned (I think).
Here's how I play it...

|-----3-------1-------3-------   -----2-------0-----------------------------
|-----3-------1-------5-------   -----3-------1-----------------------------
|-----4-------2-------5-------   -----4-------0-----------------------------
|-----5-------3-------5-------   -----4-------2-----------------------------
|-----5-------3-------3-------   -----2-------3-----------------------------
|-----3-------1---------------   -------------------------------------------
  <------Verse--------->         <---"Chorus" ------>

- The above is for rhythm guitar (James).  Billy plays the following (I think):

|-----------------------------   -------------------------------------------
|-----------------------------   -------------------------------------------
|-----------------------------   -------------------------------------------
|-----5b6b5---\3/10-----------   ----------------------------(16)b14--------
|-----------------------------   ----5----7----9/10---12--------------------
|-----3b4b3---\1/8------------   -------------------------------------------
  <-----Verse---------->           <--------"Chorus"---------------->

-  At the end of the 2nd chorus the chord is some wierd Am which looks like
     this:
              |---0----
              |---1----      (Am/D?)
              |---0----
              |---2----
              |---0----
              |--------

- Here's the slow part...

  |---3-------------0-------------      ---------------------------------------
  |---0-(or 3)------1-------------      ------------------------13--12--(pinky)
  |---4-------------2-------------      ---------------------------------------
  |---5-------------3-------------      ---12----12-----10--10--10--10---------
  |---5-------------3-------------      ------14--------12--12--12--12---------
  |---3-------------1-----(thumb)-      ---------------------------------------
     <-----James------->                     <---------Billy------------>

-  I could be wrong on a lot of things here, but this is how I play it and it
 comes out sounding pretty good.  Any comments appreciated.
