Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness guitar tab

MELLON COLLIE and the INFINITE SADNESS - the song :)

TRANSCRIBED BY ADAM MORRIS

DO NOT overlook this TAB just because it a piano song,

it is GREAT fun to play!!

THIS IS THE COMPLETE TAB!!

I have completed the TAB after MANY requests to do so,

so...enjoy!

This was NOT an easy task, I can assure you of that!!

Some piano chords do not convert well to guitar!

TUNING: 1/2 step down, dropped D (actually Db), with

capo on 2nd fret. The 3rd fret now becomes

the 1st fret etc. (this is just to be consistent

with the half step down thing)

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

This whole measure is IMPOSSIBLE

to be arranged for guitar because

of the difference in number of

octaves to a piano. The C is meant

to be a low C, but I HAD to arrange

it as a high, I am very sorry!

** Impossible note on a guitar.

**** Remember that the numbers shown

are fret numbers IN RELATION TO

THE CAPO!

The dot on the 3rd fret becomes the

1st fret in the tab fret.

As you can probably tell, this TAB was not

an easy task for me to work out and transcribe,

so.....

PLEASE tell me what you think!!!
