WHERE BOYS FEAR TO TREAD

1/2 step down (Naturally!!)

Intro...Play around a bit. Lots of palm muted E's
in there. Starts with a palm-muted slide from about
6 down on the low e-string

Main Riff

Anyway..sounds pretty close. Tell me what you think

Where Boys Fear to Tread - Performed by Smashing Pumpkins
Written By - Billy Corgan

* Tuned Down - Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb *

This is a pretty easy tune of the new album, throughout the whole
song there are only two riffs. I will show the two, and you can
figure out the rest for yourself. I have seen other attempts at
this song, but I think this is the most accurate.

Main Riff of the Whole Song

Eb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab-|-3/5---------------3------------------------------------------------|
Eb-|------4--4--0-0-0----1--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------------------|

Second Riff, used in Chorus and at the end

Eb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db-|-3-3-3-3---3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-5-4-------------------------------------|
Ab-|-3-3-3-3---3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-5-4-------------------------------------|
Eb-|-1-1-0-1---1-0-1--1-1-1-1-1-3-2-------------------------------------|

Thats pretty much it, near the end it does the previous part, but without
going up to the G5 and F#5 (I Think thats it).

This is my first transcription, so please write me with and comments and

This song is really basic, and should take no one more than a few minutes
to learn.

There's also a background solo-like thing that's pretty cool, so if
anyone's up to the challenge, please try to tab it out. Thanks.

Any corrections, comments, or questions

SONG: Where Boys Fear to Tread
ARTIST: The Smashing Pumpkins
ALBUM: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
TUNING: Half step down
NOTES: This song revolves around to riffs. There is a second guitar
playing some really high solo - type stuff.

I believe this is the first version with the lyrics included.

Tuning : Eb (surprise!)

Here we go. This tab might not be 100% correct, but
it sounds very very close. I didn't tab the intro.
You'll have to find it out yourself. It's not too
hard.
