From: cecarman@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu Okay, here's my attempt -- thanks to gloakley@gibbs.oit.unc.edu for sending me his try at the tab, which I borrowed the lyrics and the break part from. Bury Me -- by Smashing Pumpkins (billy corgan)------- Okay, first thing's first: tune your low E down to a low D. There, that's what Billy Corgan calls "grunge tuning".... Beginning bass riff: (bass may or may not tune down, it's tabbed here without tuning down)---------------------------------------------------------- --3h5-5-5-5\------------3-3-- etc.------------x-1-3-x-5-5------Guitar in:---- -----2---0-- hold until next part-0---0--riff 1 harmonics --------(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)-----3--3--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)--- --2--2--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)--- repeat 8 times until "real...." --0--0--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)--- --0--0--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)--- -------------------------------------- Lead part: play after playing riff 1 four times --Then stop & play: Real..heh...heh eal love (riff 1)----------------------------- ----7-----5----4-b5b4---2\--- ----------------------------- play that & the riff 1 thing twice ---------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------Filler 1 She blah blah blah (hold until snare hit) -------------------------------------------- -----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0------- -----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0------- -----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0-- -----------------------------------------0-- ---7---6----7---6----7---6----7---6------0--Riff 2 -- lots of palm muting ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- --3h5-5-5-5-5-x\--------------3-3---etc..-- ----------------3-x-5-x-5-7-7-------------- Play four times into "I love my sister so...." and through "would you bury me?" slow bend -- snare shot-----------9b10--------------------------------------- Chorus 1 Once you see her... ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ ---5/7-7-7-7\x--------------5-5----------------- repeat 3x ---5/7-7-7-7\x--3-x-5-x-7-x-5-5----------------- ---3/5-5-5-5\x--3-x-5-x-7-x-3-3--etc...--------- ----------------3-x-5-x-7-x--------------------- ...some things you just can't hide------------------ ------------------ ----------5------- go back to chorus 1... you get the idea---7--7-7-5---5--- ---7--7-7-3---5------7--7-7-----5--- Then the break... the second guitar (james) plays a D chord in different intervals while Billy goes nuts. Then, once Billy goes into his solo, they play the Chorus 1 part 4x, and then they play Filler 1 to finish out the solo, and then they go back into the normal Chorus structure. Simple! ;) D D D D --------------------------------------------------- ----9b10--------7-7-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-8p7-8p7/10--- into the impossible solo ----------11----7-7-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-7---7-------- .. even in the demo --------------------------------------------------- version I have, it's --------------------------------------------------- impossible. ---------------------------------------------------Solo yank yank Once you see her...
