I Am One -- Smashing Pumpkins (Corgan/Iha)

Transcribed by Chris Carman (cecarman@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu)

This is the best I can do with this song. I only have an acoustic guitar, so
I can't tab out guitar solos very well. Hope you like it.

4 bar drum intro

4 bars of bass: (repeat 2x)

(Some guitar solo that I can't figure out with some pinch artificial
harmonics.)

(Back into more of Billy soloing and James playing his rhythm part with D'arcy.
This goes on for about 8 bars or so)

Basically the "See you... blah blah" part again with Billy playing some sort of
F#7 chord over it... either:

----- --11-or-9--
----- --10--
--9-- --11--
-11-- or ------ which isn't really an F#7, but you get the idea.
--9-- ------
----- ------

End on the F# chord hits.
