the Smashing Pumpkins
In the arms of sleep
Off Mellon Collie & the infinite Sadness: 
Twilight to starlight (1995)
Written By Billy Corgan
Tabbed by Jimi 
Eb Tuning with standard G        

For this song Billy and James use another 
strange tuning like the one for Slow Dawn. 
The strings are all tuned down one step 
except the G string which is left in 
standard tuning (EbAbDbGBbeb).

This song?s played by two guitars, Billy
seems to play a Nylonstring Acoustic and
James a clean Electric. Billy?s way of 
hitting the chords is prettyb soft, he 
nearly rakes over them.

Guitar 1: Billy (Nylonstring Acoustic)
Guitar 2: James (Electric Guitar)
