SMASHING PUMPKINS - Tablatura - Rhinoceros

Jim, could you please post this transcription in the Pumpkins/guitar directory?

Thanks, Van
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RHINOCEROS, from Gish, Smashing Pumpkins

- Aside from the solo, this is unquestionably the easiest song by the Pumpkins
to play. It sounds great with two guitars.

Intro: Guitar1, (clean)
===== =======

- This is the repeating riff in the song; at the D-chord, guitar 2
arpeggiates the 6 strings.

- after Billy says "...see you in June...", guitar 1 repeats the intro riff
while guitar 2 lays this 'Gershwin' riff over it:

FINAL VERSE: James plays C G D progression while Billy lays these overtop:

|---------------------------- d ----------------------12---10-9--------------

The last chord is that weird D. Hold till fade, then take a step towards the
amp and weave some magic.
