Smashing Pumpkins - Tear bass tab
Song: "Tear"
Artist: Smashing Pumpkins
Album: Adore
Tabbed by: L.A.
Normal tuning, although on my bass normal tuning sounds pretty warped. This
is one of those songs that needs the bass to carry it, so play it right!
Enjoy.
*Note* this song isn't really broken up into verse, bridge, and chorus, but
you'll be able to tell when each part comes in, it's basically in this
order. By the by, this is entirely of my own figuring and did not use any
part of the other tab or tabs on here.
