CATHERINE - Songs About Girls

This is the FIRST of many Catherine tabs that
I will be typing up. This is a great band that
will be getting a lot of attention soon I bet.
I suspect that most people that use this tab will
be from the Smashing Pumpkins Mailing list.
Anyway, here is my attempt at the first song on
the Sorry album, Songs About Girls.


TUNING - Dropped D (D A D G B E)

INTRO/VERSE
~~~~~~~~~~~
First three chords played in clean tone for intro,
distortion on there after.
