tabbed by Moe ([email protected])
This is probably the most complete tab of this
song you'll find.i've taken a peek at other tabs
but added most of this myself. i'm just going to
lay all the riffs on you, i'm not going to bother
writing down every detail and orders of them. ps.
this is a killer song to play even though you
practically don't hear the bass...

D|—————————————————————————————————————————————|
A|——5p4p0——5p4p0——5p4p0——5p4p0——5p4—5p4——0—————|
E|—————————————————————————————————————————————|
You can play E|3, A|3 and A|12 respectivley if you
wanna pretend that you're the James Iha and not D'Arcy..
To many people have gotten this riff wrong, or at
least written it in a really stupid way. This is
tabbed exactly as it sounds.

A|————3h5—3——33————————————————————————————————|

It's really hard to hear what they play in the
verses, especially how many 3's there are, but i
think three of them sounds good.

This one is really hard to hear/tab. I like to play
this, with a little improv.

**D'arcy is booring**
The Smashing Pumpkins is an American alternative rock band that formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1988. Formed by Billy Corgan (vocals, guitar) and James Iha (guitar, backing vocals), the band has included D'arcy Wretzky (bass guitar, backing vocals), Jimmy Chamberlin (drums, percussion), and Melissa Auf der Maur (bass guitar) amongst its membership.
Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|---3---------------|
E|-------------------|
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
G|-------------------|
D|-------5h7---------|
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
G|-------------------|
D|-------7p5---------|
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
G|-------------------|
D|-------5/7---------|
G|-------7b9---------|
G|-------7~----------|
Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.
Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
