The Smashing Pumpkins
Thru the eyes of ruby
Off Mellon Coliie and the infinte sadness:
Twilight to starlight (1995)
Written by Billy Corgan and James Iha
Tabbed by Jimi


I replaced my first version of this song by 
this one. Now the tab is far more accurate, 
I arranged it for two guitars,like in the 
live versions and did the final noise/acoustic 
part. It was very hard to do the strumming 
patterns, so I think you should better build 
up your own strumming patterns than using mine. 
Sorry, Joao from Portugal, I lost your Mail 
address so I couldn´t write back. 
Just rate this guys!

Billy always slides to the next chord.
In the studio version a third guitar 
plays the same part with a different, 
brighter kind of distortion, the 
second time.

then Billy goes on on an Acoustic guitar:

Before this the first chord´s strummed quietly.

Played very slowly. There are still some single notes and dead 
notes I couldn´t distinguish. You better just use the chords 
and create your own rhythm. Follow the Lead!
