Soma by the smashing pumpkins
siamese dream album.
tabbed by Jacob Schieb

Note- if this tab is offlined... just copy and past it to notepad or whatever and fontsize it to 8 or 10.

I love this song. If one song should be played for the rest of our lives it 
should be this song. It's hard at first but with time youll gt it. It did anyway. 
ok the song is played using standard tunning.

	B (x2444x@1)     E (022100@1)      G (320003@1)is run away from you

	               B (x2444x@1)E (022100@1)
	and she let me on down

	     G (320003@1)             B (x2444x@1) E (022100@1)with secrets i can't keep

  Now for this part you could just use wah effect while
stricking the ninth fret of g string once. let it ring out
but have some fun with it. Listen to the song to get the feel.

	B (x2444x@1)one last kiss

	     G (320003@1)	good night


  Here is that little intro solo played with an ebow on an acoustic 
(good luck trying to reproduce this sound, it's hard BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE) 
if you don't have an ebow or dont know what it is simply play this in a lite 
sounding effect to give it a bedtime sleepy sound.
