anything but the main riff.

Smashing Pumpkins - "The aeroplane flies high (turns left, looks right)"

>From the single "The aeroplane flies high (turns left, looks right)"

taken from the album "Mellon Collie and the infinite sadness"

Written by Billy Corgan

Ok, first this is my first tab ever and I`m really not a good guitar player, but

hey ! Rome wasn't built in a day, I`m just begining to learn !. I`m

pretty sure that this song is played 1\2 step tuned down (tab is represented

normal

tuning) This song is real easy and you should understand it by looking at

this tab.

I wonder if someone out there would be kind enough to explain to me how to

"D tune"

the guitar, and "1\2 step down", "low to high", and other things of

interest. Any

really big SP fans out there like me ? Hey ! They rock BIG TIME ! I met

Billy and the

band earlier this year, I collect bootlegs and whatever one may find with

the band.

Got the "aeroplane flies high box set" yet ? If you haven't, go get it if

you can cuz

there's only like 5000 in the world ! I`ve got it and u should too ! If u

got some

SP bootlegs and want to trade or sell, contact me ! And maybe I`ve got some

that I might

give up !

Smashing Pumpkins - "The aeroplane flies high (turns left, looks right)"

x8 x5 x3 x11 x2 x2 x1

(at some point the distortion kicks in (and later it goes off), you'll know

when just by

listening to the cd, it's a simple song, I don't know the solo !)

Basic Lyrics : (some repeats here and there, listen to the song and you'll

get it!)

*

"I really don't wanna look stupid when I`m sleeping"

"I never really liked sunny days"

"the black wings just reach out to me over a distance, and I can feel...the

wind from my wings"

"I see the clouds, I feel the ocean with my feet"

"and I`m home again..... (or something?)"

"requires an ability to judge distance"

"the aeroplane turns left, looks right"

love is a sentimental heart

life is a sentimental way

spy the fragile heart so cursed

as he walks across the earth

I`m disconnected by your smile

disconnect a million miles

and what you promies me

i hope will set you free

I`m disconnected by your smile

and all I gave to you is lost

and all you took from me is lost

black wings carry me so high

up to meet you in the sky

I`m disconnected by your smile

disconnect a million miles

and what you promies me

i hope will set you free

I`m disconnected by your smile

wishing you were real to me

wishing I could make belive

I`ll take my secrets to the grave

safely held beneath the waves

always knew I couldn't save

always knew I couldn't save you

* Billy speaks this in the start of the song over basic chord progession.

(also there is alot of mumbling in this song, but it isn't that important

to the song so I didn't care to include it)
