The Smashing Pumpkins
Thru the eyes of ruby
Off Mellon Coliie and the infinte sadness:
Twilight to starlight (1995)
Written by Billy Corgan and James Iha
Tabbed by Jimi
I replaced my first version of this song by
this one. Now the tab is far more accurate,
I arranged it for two guitars,like in the
live versions and did the final noise/acoustic
part. It was very hard to do the strumming
patterns, so I think you should better build
up your own strumming patterns than using mine.
Sorry, Joao from Portugal, I lost your Mail
address so I couldn?t write back.
Just rate this guys!

Billy always slides to the next chord.
In the studio version a third guitar
plays the same part with a different,
brighter kind of distortion, the
second time.

Played very slowly. There are still some single notes and dead
notes I couldn?t distinguish. You better just use the chords
and create your own rhythm. Follow the Lead!
