"The End is the Beginning is the End" by Smashing Pumpkins From: Mike Melis Transcribed by: //\\//\\ike (The same one as above :) I've just GOTTA tab at least ONE SP song and be immortalized forever! ;) I first heard this song two days ago. Total shock to me. Didn't even know it was out. Very cool song. Dark and mysterious; something Billy hasn't really done in a while, (not including Eye). Very Batman-y. It's gonna fit in perfect with the movie. I can see it now. This isn't really a difficult song. The quality of the song (in MP3 format from which I tabbed this) isn't that great so I may be way off. I saw another tab but it doesn't seem quite right. Maybe I'm off, but it sounds fine to me. Same rules as with all other tabs apply to this one so don't rip me off punk! ;) The bass follows the guitar in this song. - Standard Tuning (Wow! That's a rarity! They almost always use Eb tuning!)

This is still wrong in places. Gotta give credit where credit is due. The sewers belched me up the heavens spit me out from esau's tragic I am born again and now I'm with you now inside your world of woe to move in this place of deadly return 'til the end times begin Chorus: Is it bright where you are? Have the people changed? Does it make you happy you're so sane? And in your darkest hour my whole secrets fade you can watch the world devour it instead Climb my ribcage too the replays run for you unhook my lights to peek behind the glare for I am crystal grown and I am shadown known and I am crumbled king of angels of death to destroy the end Chorus The zepplins rain upon us the guns of love disastrous a shadow lies amongst you to defy the future Chorus Your welcome ;) //\\//\\ike 1997
