Title: Thirty-Three
Group: The Smashing Pumpkins
Album: Mellon Collie and The Infinite Saddness
      (disc 2: track 3)
Tabbed by: Jon Reisch (Kaazin49@aol.com)

I've seen several versions of this song posted around the
internet, but wasn't satisfied with any of them, so here's
my own work on it.


Chords: o= open string x= not played

     G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)Dsus2 (xx0230@1)name="chord_022000@1">e    3   o   o           The main problem with other tabs is
b (x24432@1)  3   1   3           the Dsus2chord, (xx0230@1)which many confuse
g (355333@1)  o   o   2           with simply D. But if you listen
d (xx0231@1)  o   2   o           carefully you can hear the
a (x02210@1)  2   3   o           difference.  Billy uses this chord
E (022100@1)  3   o   x           in Tonight, Tonight too.


Other notes: This is played with three guitars.

Guitar 1: Phaser/flanger w/delay and reverb. (Only plays the
          changes. Phase/Flange and the delay are increased
          after "on my own...)"
Guitar 2: Acoustic (strums chords throughout)
Guitar 3/piano: Clean Electric (plays small lead riff
                                throughout)

Outro: G x4

   For the piano/Clean electric here's what is played:

riff 1:
e|----------------------|       Riffs 1&2 are played whenever a G is
b|9-8-9-11-9-8----------|       played pretty much. For the intro and
                       outro they alternate, and for the
riff 2:                rest Riff 1 is used almost
e|------11-8------------|       exclusively. Just listen to the CD
b|9-8-9------11---------|       for the timing and changes between
                       the two.

As always comments/suggestions/corrections are welcome! If
anyone has any more specific info on the effects used on
guitar 1, please email me.  Thanks! (Kaazin49@aol.com)
