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

Intro: 
======

 Guitar1, (clean)

   |----------------------------------------|
   |----------------------------------------|   repeat this for
   |----------9---------9/11--11--11-11-----|   several bars...
   |----------------------------------------|
   |----------7---------7/-9---9---9--9-----|
   |--0---0-------0-0---0-------------------|

 Guitar 2, (flanger and some delay), let top 2 strings ring

   |-------0-------------0-----------0-----0----0------0----------

    - 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:

CHORUS:

 Guitars 1 + 2,(clean first time, distorted thereafter)

      The way......        she knows....
  |----0-----------3----------0-----------------------  If you're playing
  |----1-----------3----------3-----------------------  a strat, switch

       Cmaj         Gmaj       Dsus2

BRIDGE: 
=======

 Guitar 1, guitar 2 solos overtop (bigtime distortion)
 
    |----------------------------------------
    |------------------------5---5-7--7--7---   you get the picture
    |------------------------5---5-7--7--7---
    |-7---7-5---7---5-7-5----5---5-7--7--7---
    |-7---7-5---7---5-7-5----3---3-5--5--5---
    |-5---5-3---5---3-5-3--------------------


2nd VERSE:   
==========      

join Gershwin riff to the previous repeating riff during
"...open your eyes, to these must I lie?..." and add the bend:

          |---0-------------
          |---0-------------
     .... |--11b1211b12-----    once
          |---0-------------
          |---9-------------
          |--10-------------

FINAL VERSE:    
===========

James plays C G D progression while Billy lays these over top:

  |----------------------------   
  |---------------------------- a 
  |---------------------------- n 
  |---------------------------- d 
  |-(10)b9--7--5--5--7--5--7--9   
  |----------------------------   

    ---------------------------------------------
    ---------------------------------------------
    ----11-12--11h12p11p9------------------------
    ----------------------12---10-9--------------
    --------------------------------12-10-9------
    ----------------------------------------12-10

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