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.
