THE END IS THE BEGINNING IS THE END
(As performed by THE SMASHING PUMPKINS from the soundtrack "Batman & Robin")
Transcribed by: Scott Maybee (Simon@connect.reach.net)
As alternative music heads toward an industrial genre, so do The Smashing
Pumpkins. This song contains alot of keyboard, but I have transcribed
what I think are the guitar parts.
Tuning (Low to high) Eflat,Aflat,Dflat,Gflat,Bflat,Eflat
Intro:
(Heavy dist.) Litle riff:
E-------------------------- ---------------------
B-------------------------- ---------------------
G-------------------------- ---------------------
D-------------------------- ---------------------
A--1----------2------------ ------0-1-2-1-0------
E----3--3-3-0---0--0-0-00-- --0-3-----------3-0--
VERSE:
E--------------------------|---------------------------
B--------------------------|---------------------------
G--------------------------|---------------------------
D--------------------------|---------------------------
A--------------------------|---------------------------
E--0--------3~~~---/6~~~~--|--0-0-000---3~~~---/6~~~~--
You'll notice that after awhile doing this, it will change back to
the intro.
PRE-CHORUS: (X2)
E-----------------------
B-----------------------
G-----------------------
D-----------------------
A-----------------------
E--8~~~~~----\1~~~--0---
Guitar 2:
(light dist.)
E-------8---------|-------------
B-----8-----------|-------------
G---9------8~~~~~-|-------------
D-----------------|-------6~~~--
A-----------------|-----8-------
E-----------------|---7---------
CHORUS:
E--5--|--0--|-----|--5--|--0--|-----|--5-\0-- -------------------
B--5--|--0--|-----|--5--|--0--|-----|--5-\0-- -------------------
G--5--|--0--|--7--|--5--|--0--|--7--|--5-\0-- -------------------
D--7--|--2--|--7--|--7--|--2--|--7--|--7-\2-- ------------------- X 2
A--7--|--2--|--5--|--7--|--2--|--5--|--7-\2-- ------0-1-2-1-0----
E--5--|--0--|-----|--5--|--0--|-----|--5-\0-- --0-3-----------3--
Then repeat the above sequences until this:
PRE-BRIDGE:
E--8----3--/5---1--1-1---|--/8----3--/5---1--1-1---
B------------------------|-------------------------
G------------------------|-------------------------
D------------------------|-------------------------
A------------------------|-------------------------
E------------------------|-------------------------
BRIDGE:
E-------6--|-------8--
B-----6----|-----6----
G---7------|---9------
D----------|----------
A----------|----------
E----------|----------
INTERLUDE: 1/4
E-------------------------
B------------------^------
G----------------9-9--7---
D-------------------------
A----1--1---2----7-7--5---
E--0---0--0---0-----------
After this just repeat the sequences again and near the end keep repeating
the intro. then as the keyboard fades out, you can hear some vibrating
harmonics which are from the guitar but I'm not too sure. These tabs
are a little rough so please mail me if you have any suggestions

"The End Is The Begining Is The End"
Smashing Pumpkins
the sewer belched me out
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 an *unknown* of deadly return
'til the end times begin
is it bright where you are?
have the people changed?
does it make you happy and 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 shadow known
and i am crumbled king of angels of death
to destroy the end
and is it bright where you are?
have the people changed?
does it make you happy and so sane?
and in your darkest hour
my whole secrets fade
you can watch the world devour it instead
the zepplins rain upon us
the guns of love disastrous
a shadow lies amongst you
to defy the future
is it bright where you are?
have the people changed?
does it make you happy and so sane?
and in your darkest hour
my whole secrets fade
you can watch the world devour it instead
