ARTIST: The Smashing Pumpkins
SONG: Once Upon A Time
ALBUM: Adore
AUTHOR: Billy Corgan
PUBLISHER: (c) 1998 Chrysalis Songs/Cinderful Music (BMI)

One of the few guitar-based songs on Adore in standard tuning.
I also believe it's in 3/4 time.  I didn't note it in the tab, 
but be sure to slide as much as possible.
