THE END IS THE BEGINNING IS THE END --by the Smashing Pumpkins-- Tabbed by Jerome Bohg, the Netherlands. Here's the tab for The End Is The Beginning Is The End and I think it's quite accurate cause I've been playing it along with the original version and a live version from the Roskilde Festival in Denmark (1997). Anyway, it's still my own interpretation of it so if you think it should be otherwise please let me know. J.bohg@consunet.nl Tuning's a half step down (as usual). The intro insn't guitar but I tabbed it for guitar ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ---6---7----------6---7------ Play this intro riff three times before the next part, this riff appears later on in the song as well -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- ---6\3-3-3-3-3-3-3---7\0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------- Before the singing there this little riff sewers belch me up... --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- -----------------------2-2-2-2-2------------------- -----0-1-2-1-0---------2-2-2-2-2------------------- ---3-----------3-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3--3--3\6-6-6-6- the heavens spit me out......... from ethers tragic I am born again -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2-2-2-2-2-2----------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-------------------2-2-------- 2-2-2-2-2-2----------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-------------------2-2--/7~~~- 0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3--3--3\6-6-6-6----0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3--3--3\6-6-6---0-0-------- and now I'm with you now... inside your world of wow(?) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --6\3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-7\0-0-0-0-0-0-0---6\3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-7\0-0-0-0-0-0- to move in desires made of deadly pretends ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------2-2--- --6\3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-7\0-0-0-0-0-0-0---/8~8~8~--/1~1~~-0-0-0--- till the end times begin it is bright where you are -----------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- -----------------------------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1- -----------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- -----------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- -------------------------2-2-2-2---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- -0-0-0-/8~8~8~--/1~1~~-0-0-0-0-0------------------------------------- have the people changed does it make you happy -------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- -------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3- -------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2----------------------------- -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------------------------- you're so strahahahahaha ange and in your darkest our -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- -1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1- -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- -------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0------------------------------------- I hold secrets flame you can watch the world de.. -------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- -------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3- -------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------------------------- -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------------------------- ..voured in its pain -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------------------------------------------------- -1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1------------------------------------------------------- -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------------------------------------------------- -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------------------------------------- -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-----0-1-2-1-0-----/7~~----0-1-2-1-0----7\- -------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0---3-----------3-0--------3---------3-0---- For the next verse and chorus the save stuff just repeats itself so that shouldn't be too difficult.
