Off the lost Highway OST (1997)/
Rotten Apples – the greatest Hits (2001)
Written by Billy Corgan
Tabbed by Jimi
Eb
Pretty much one of the easiest songs.
I didnґt tell you how often every riff
is played. Itґs just so simple to dis-
tinguish.
Turn up the basses, no high mids. Some
compressor effects and tons of reverb,
use a light wha-wha effect on the riffs
if you want the sound to be as soft as
on the record.
Main Riff
|----5---------5---------------------|
|------------------8-6-5-6-----6-----|
|------5---4-5---5---------7-5---5---|
|--7-----7---------------------------|
|------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------|
Intro: Main Riff twice
Verse:
only Bass
Dґarcy
|-------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------|
|------------------5-5-----5-5--------|
|--5-5-----3-3------------------------|
"Eye waits…"
When Billy sings "Is it any wonder? – I canґt sleep"
play Main Riff.
The next part goes that way:
(reverb)
|--1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0---|
|--1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3---|
|--2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0---|
|--3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2---|
|--3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3---------3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2---|
|--1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-x-x-x-x---------1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0---|
"Turn to the gates of Heaven…"
For the bridge without vocals, resume Main Riff, with
James playing this:
|----------------|
|----------------|
|--1412/1412---| whammy bar
|----------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|
Then the bass continues playing the Verse, while all guitars
are completely silent.
After this the Main Riffґs played another time and the part
with the heavy reverb when Billy sings "It is not enough"
comes up.
The Interludeґs just Bass over Jamesґs wha-wha guitar,
when Billy sings "Turn to the gates…" but the reverbed
part is substituted.
Dґarcy
|-------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------|
|------------------5-5----------------|
|--5-5-----3-3-------------1-1--------|
James (reverb)
|--12h13p12----12----------------------|
|-----------15----15-13p12h13-12-------|
|--------------------------------14~---| very slow
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
repeat this circa three times and then go to the Outro:
Dґarcy
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------| just like the Outro of
|-----------------------| the everlasting gaze
|--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0---|
Billy + James
