Mouths of Babes, By the Smashing Pumpkins.

Off the Areoplane flies high on the zero album

tabbed by Jon Ballard

Tune down 1/2 step(Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb)

The song starts out with some feedback that I have been able to get with lots of distortion and

volume.

I think that this is right for the most part. Whenever I play it with the recording it is

identical.

You'll probably have to get the rythms down yourself, but other than that i

think its pretty accurate. It looks like alot but its not really that much.

Hope it helps.
