the Smashing Pumpkins
Mayonaise
Off Siamese Dream (1993)/
Mayonaise (1994)/
Earphoria (2002)
Written by Billy Corgan
Tabbed by Jimi

This is one of the best songs I?ve ever heard.
The effect in the Chorus is produced by Billy
not playing his guitar. He uses a ***ed-up 
pawnshop Kimberly with microphone pick-ups. 
Everytime he stops playing, the guitar starts 
to ring. Great trick!
