La Dolly Vita Tabs

(ver. 1)
Smashing Pumpkins
-------------
  la dolly vita- by the smashing pumpkins     
  -------------      written by Billy Corgan
                

        This song is pretty simple.  It consists of one basic part.
  It looks like this:
e[-------2---2--2-0--2----2-2----2------2---2--2-0--2----2-2-]
B[--0h2--2-2-2--2-0--2-2--2-2--2-2-0h2--2-2-2--2-0--2-2--2-2-]
G[--3----3-3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3----3-3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-]
D[--4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-]
A[--4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-]
E[--0h2--2-2-2--2-0----2--2-2--2---0h2--2-2-2--2-0----2--2-2-]

        There are a few slide parts.  If you want to learn those, look at
Carlos Bustos's tab.  He has all the slide parts tabbed 
out.  
        The most common variation is like this:
e[--3--2----------------]
B[--5--4----------------]    When Billy sings:
G[--5--4------PAUSE-----]    "cool as ice cream"
D[--5--4----------------]    there is no pause, go straight
A[--3--2----------------]     into the one main part.
E[----------------------]

    Another part of the song, an interlude has this:
e[--2------0-------2-------0------]
B[--2------0-------2-------0------]  with ad-lib guitar noise
G[--3------3-------3-------3------]   (the slide part is just
D[--4------4-------4-------4------]      slow and quiet)
A[--4------4-------4-------4------]
E[--2------0-------2-------0------]

        I have an idea on how the outro goes, but it doesn't 
 sound exactly right, so if anyone can correct me, please do so.
e[-------------------0---0---0----]
B[--2--2-2-22-2-2--0-0-0-0-0-0----]   I can kinda hear a slide 
G[--3--3-3-33-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-3----]    part that sounds like 
D[--4--4-4-44-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-4----]     this right here:
A[--4--4-4-44-4-4--4---4---4------]     A[--9s7-7-9s7-7-9--]
E[--2--2-2-22-2-2--0---0---0------]    
               BOTH GUITARS HAVE HEAVY DISTORTION!!!!!

 SONG ENDS ON F# 
 
        The story behind the weird crashing sound at the end is
 not one I know.  If anybody can explain what is #$&@ is going
 on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

            Any questions, comments, or whatevers

    If anybody wants a new friend, go to the loser pen pals page.
 you can find people like my loser friend Marty there.
 extremely lonely life in a small boring town like me.
king of gloom
