Title: Bullet With Butterfly Wings
Artist: The Smashing Pumpkins
Album: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Written By: Billy Corgan
Tabbed By: Max Perenchio (Maxacaster@aol.com)
Tuning: Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb
Notes: The intro is based on a B5 chord. After the Chorus I demonstrate what
to do if you only have one guitar. (I use that version at home)
Here it is, this is my favorite band in the whole world so I though I should
make a COMPLETE tab of this song. I have seen many INCOMPLETE tabs all over
the internet. This one is complete besides the very last chorus where another
guitar is soloing with a wah-wah pedal. It really isnt a huge part of the
song. And this tab IS pretty much correct, the
verse might sound strange the first time but it is right. And I have advice
for all you fellow tabbers if you are stuck on tab, try to listen to the song
being played live, you will probably hear the chords better, thats how I got
this song.

This is another version of the chorus if you only have one guitar in your
band or if you are just playing at home. This is the version I play at home
by the way this version has my High G5 chord instead of the low G5 chord.

The same as 1st chorus (FIG 3 and 4 combined)
SOLO
Notes: This isn't really a solo compared to other pumpkins stuff but it
sounds cool, this has two guitar parts but one guitar can easily pull off
both parts.

SOFT CHORUS
Notes: Oh man, right now billy goes into a chord plucking thing, while he is
singing the regular chorus, softly. The chords he is plucking are the same
ones used on the regular chorus. All you need to do is just pluck these
chords out in individual notes:
B5 G5 D5 Asus Em G
Put FIG 5 over the scream
OUTRO
Notes: Make Sure You add the A#5 after A5.
