his try at the tab, which I borrowed the lyrics and the break part from.
Bury Me -- by Smashing Pumpkins (billy corgan)
-------
Okay, first thing's first: tune your low E down to a low D. There, that's what
Billy Corgan calls "grunge tuning"....
Beginning bass riff: (bass may or may not tune down, it's tabbed here without
tuning down)

Chorus 1
Once you see her...
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
---5/7-7-7-7\x--------------5-5----------------- repeat 3x
---5/7-7-7-7\x--3-x-5-x-7-x-5-5-----------------
---3/5-5-5-5\x--3-x-5-x-7-x-3-3--etc...---------
----------------3-x-5-x-7-x---------------------
...some things you just can't hide
------------------
------------------
----------5------- go back to chorus 1... you get the idea
---7--7-7-5---5---
---7--7-7-3---5---
---7--7-7-----5---
Then the break... the second guitar (james) plays a D chord in different
intervals while Billy goes nuts. Then, once Billy goes into his solo, they
play the Chorus 1 part 4x, and then they play Filler 1 to finish out the solo,
and then they go back into the normal Chorus structure. Simple! ;)

---0----0--- for the rest of the song
---13---15--

then play:

Feedback, backwards guitar, noise....
Lyrics:
Real love
Real love
Share your kisses, take your heart
Everything if it hurts
I love my sister so <on shine>
She don't smother me <on shine on shine>
I played the spades I know <on shine>
I'm a Jack of all trades... would you bury me?
Once you see her
One inside <ide..ide>
Some things you just can't hide
If you see her
Tell me why <hy..hy>
Why won't she come outside?
She will... bury me.
She will... bury me.
