"The Viper" by The Smashing Pumpkins I'm not 100% sure about the tuning but I think this is right... Tabbed by Harley Cheesbro. talesofascorchedheart@yahoo.com This song was never released on any mainstream albums but was played live a few times around the 1995 and 96 when Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was released. Here it goes... The main riff builds off of these chords: F C D eb-------------------2---- Bb--------------1-1--3---- Gb-2-2-2-2-2-2--0-0--2---- Db-3-3-3-3-3-3--2-2------- Ab-3-3-3-3-3-3--3-3------- Eb-1-1-1-1-1-1------------ kick on dist. on these parts... eb---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bb---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gb---------------------------------------------------------------------- Db-3-3-3-3-3-3/10/12--12-12---------------10/12--12-12------------------ Ab-3-3-3-3-3-3/10/12--12-12---3-3-3-3-3-3/10/12--12-12------------------ Eb-1-1-1-1-1-1/8-/10--10-10---1-1-1-1-1-1/8-/10--10-10------------------ eb------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bb------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gb------------------------------------------------------------------------ Db-12-12-12--2--2------------5-5-5-7-7-7---2--2-----------5-5-5-7-7-7-12-- Ab-12-12-12--2--2--1097----5-5-5-7-7-7---2--2--1097---5-5-5-5-5-5-12-- Eb-10-10-10--0--0----------0-3-3-3-5-5-5---0--0---------0-3-3-3-5-5-5-10-- eb-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bb-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gb-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Db-12-12-12--2--2------------5-5-5-7-7-7---2--2-----------5-5-5-7-7-7-12-3-- Ab-12-12-12--2--2--1097----5-5-5-7-7-7---2--2--1097---5-5-5-5-5-5-12-3-- Eb-10-10-10--0--0----------0-3-3-3-5-5-5---0--0---------0-3-3-3-5-5-5-10-1-- These are the riffs, it's pretty easy to figure out from here. HC Ps- I know these chords are right as I was watching an in-studio video of this song at www.billy-corgan.com that shows efficient close ups on Billy's hands...enjoy.
