Hey SP fans,

I noticed nobody has tabbed this song so here is my attempt of Owata
by the one and only Smashing Pumpkins! Owata beautiful song! :-)

The song is not too hard. Just listen to it to get the hang of the strumming.

Have a listen to this version as it's a bit slower so easier to practice.

Or check out this awesome live clip from the Chris Isaak Hour!

So this song should be on the TBK album and it will most likely be electric. 
(The live electric version is awesome by the way!)
Anyhow this tab is for the acoustic version. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

(1)x2
(1)Right off the silver screen, into a moonbeam, to the alien side.
(1)Catch up with Jesus, the stars beneath us. Owata beautiful night.

(2a)Cool in your pocket, you can unlock this night.
(2b)Cool in your pocket, you can unlock it.
    You can't help but decide it's alright.

(1)Owata beautiful sight, you are to me.
(1)Owata beautiful night.

(2a)Cool in your pocket, rocks for your rocket ride.
(2b)Cool in your pocket, you can unlock this.
    You can't stop this night outside.

(1)Owata beautiful night.
(1)

(1)Start up the revelry, roll out the cavalry, into the waters we dive.
(1)Shimmers on the cosmos, ripple the uppermost, of the quivering tide.

(2a)Locks for your locket, you can unlock it's fist.
(2b)Rocks for your rocket, you can unlock it.
    Shots for your socket eyes that shine, yeah.

(1)Owata beautiful sight, you are to me.
(1)Owata beautiful night.
(1)Owata beautiful sight, you are to me.
(1)Owata beautiful night.

(3)x2

(3)Night....night....Owata beautiful night.
(3)Night....night....Owata beautiful night.

(1)Owata beautiful night.
(1)Owata beautiful sight, you are to me.
(1)Owata beautiful night.

(1) x6 (During Solo)

(1)Night, night.
(1)Owata beautiful night, night.
(1)Owata beautiful night, night.
(1)Owata beautiful night, night.
(1)Owata beautiful night.
