---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Artist: the Smashing PumpkinsTitle: Tales of a scorched EarthRelease: Mellon collie and the infinite sadness Twilight to starlight Written by: Billy CorganPerformed by: the Smashing Pumpkins (Billy Corgan, James Iha, Dґarcy Wretzky, Jimmy Chamberlin)Tabbed by: Florian ScherьblTuning: Down a half step (EbAbDbGbBbeb) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I tabbed this Song because it is one of the best Songs on the Pumpkinsґ Mellon Collie LP along with Bullet with butterfly wings , Zero , Through the eyes of ruby and Tonight,tonight. It also is a great experience with lots of Distortion. Please send me Corrections for this tab, especially the Solos (I just wasnґt able to figure out what Billy was playing)and donґt be too cruel with this tab, itґs my first one and I just wanted to enlarge thispages list of Pumpkins Songs. (E mail: flooos@gmx.net) The Song is played very quick so you will have your problems with the timing of the two guitars and the vocals.

If the tabber of this tab which I donґt know sees my version of Tales of a Scorched earth please donґt suppose itґs stolen (I donґt know how close mine is&). Itґs myFirst tab but Iґm proud of it because itґs tabbed by ear and not stolen.Hope you like it (and send corrections if you can figure out the hard parts)and have fun withIt!
