anything but the main riff.

Smashing Pumpkins - "The aeroplane flies high (turns left, looks right)"
>From the single "The aeroplane flies high (turns left, looks right)"
taken from the album "Mellon Collie and the infinite sadness"

Written by Billy Corgan



Ok, first this is my first tab ever and I`m really not a good guitar player, but
hey ! Rome wasn't built in a day, I`m just begining to learn !. I`m
pretty sure that this song is played 1\2 step tuned down (tab is represented
normal
tuning) This song is real easy and you should understand it by looking at
this tab.
I wonder if someone out there would be kind enough to explain to me how to
"D tune"
the guitar, and "1\2 step down", "low to high", and other things of
interest. Any
really big SP fans out there like me ? Hey ! They rock BIG TIME ! I met
Billy and the
band earlier this year, I collect bootlegs and whatever one may find with
the band.
Got the "aeroplane flies high box set" yet ? If you haven't, go get it if
you can cuz
there's only like 5000 in the world ! I`ve got it and u should too ! If u
got some
SP bootlegs and want to trade or sell, contact me ! And maybe I`ve got some
that I might
give up !

Repeat throughout the whole song :

x8 x5 x3 x11 x2 x2 x1
|--2---1---0---6---9----4---4-----------------------------------------------
---------
|--2---1---0---6---9----4---4-----------------------------------------------
---------
|--3---2---1---7---10---5---5-----------------------------------------------
---------
|--4---3---2---8---11---6---6-----------------------------------------------
---------
|--4---3---2---8---11---6---6-----------------------------------------------
---------
|--2---1---0---6---9----4---0-----------------------------------------------
---------

(at some point the distortion kicks in (and later it goes off), you'll know
when just by
listening to the cd, it's a simple song, I don't know the solo !)


Basic Lyrics : (some repeats here and there, listen to the song and you'll
get it!)

*
"I really don't wanna look stupid when I`m sleeping"
"I never really liked sunny days"
"the black wings just reach out to me over a distance, and I can feel...the
wind from my wings"
"I see the clouds, I feel the ocean with my feet"
"and I`m home again..... (or something?)"
"requires an ability to judge distance"
"the aeroplane turns left, looks right"

love is a sentimental heart
life is a sentimental way
spy the fragile heart so cursed
as he walks across the earth
I`m disconnected by your smile
disconnect a million miles
and what you promies me
i hope will set you free
I`m disconnected by your smile
and all I gave to you is lost
and all you took from me is lost
black wings carry me so high
up to meet you in the sky
I`m disconnected by your smile
disconnect a million miles
and what you promies me
i hope will set you free
I`m disconnected by your smile
wishing you were real to me
wishing I could make belive
I`ll take my secrets to the grave
safely held beneath the waves
always knew I couldn't save
always knew I couldn't save you


* Billy speaks this in the start of the song over basic chord progession.
(also there is alot of mumbling in this song, but it isn't that important
to the song so I didn't care to include it)
