Tear by The Smashing Pumpkins Tabed by Tim Armati email - tim_armati@acslink.aone.net.au Note: In this song the guitar is not the primary instrument so like my tab of "Ava Adore" this is simply a strum along interpretation of the song. Also because of the fact that this is not a guitar based song and that there is a repetitive orchestral part which goes through much of the song I have often looked to the melody that Billy is singing in order to determine the best suited chords. Standard tuning 1/2 a step down (E flat) Intro: Bm - Am - Em 4 times Em Am Em The lights came on fast Bm D Em Lost in motor crash Em D Am Em Gone in a flash unreal Bm Am Em But you knew all along Em You laugh the light D Em I sing the songs Em D To watch you numb Bm - Am - Em I saw you there Bm - Am - Em You were on you're way Bm - Am - D You held the rain Bm Am Em And for the first time Heaven seemed insane Bm D Em Bm Am Em Cause heaven is to blame For taking you away Em Am Bm D Em Do you know the way that I can Do you know the things that I can lose Em Am Bm D Em Do you know the things that I can Do you know the things that I can do Em Am D Bm Em Where is you're heart Where is you're heart gone to Em Am Bm D Em Tear me apart Tear me apart from you C Em C D You laugh the light I cry the wound In gray afternoons Bm - Am - Em Bm - Am - Em I saw you there You were on you're way Bm - Am - D You held the rain And for the first time Bm Am Em Bm D Em Heaven seemed insane For taking you away Bm Am Em Bm Am Heaven is to blame For taking you away Break: (note: this is the the part featuring what sounds to be a synth or something - here is my effort at relating it to the guitar) e----0------------------------------------------------------- Play this twice b----0-----------------------------------------------3------ g----0--------------------------------------------2-------- d----2-------0--2--4------0--2--5-------0--2---------- a----2----2-------------2---------------2----------------- e----0--0-------------0---------------0------------------- then play e----0-------------------------------------------------0------0------------ b----0-------------------------------------------------1------0------------- g----0-----------------------------------------2--4---0------0------------- d----2-------0--2--4-----0--2--5-----0--2---------2------2------------- a----2----2-------------2------------2---------------3------3------------- e----0--0-------------0------------0--------------------------------------- then e----0---------------------------------------------------0----2----- b----0---------------------------------------------3----1----3----- g----0------------------------------------------2-------0----2----- d----2-------0--2--4-----0--2--5------0--2---------2----0------ a----2----2-------------2-------------2---------------3------------ e----0--0-------------0-------------0------------------------------- Then play intro part ie.
