TRANSFORMER

Writen by Billy Corgan, performed by
Smashing Pumpkins on the 33 single.

Tune down 1/2 step

main riff

A/---------------------------------------------------------------------
----
E/--2--2--2--1--0----0--2--2--2--1--0----0--2--2--2--1--0----2


chorus

A5 B5 F#5
D/--7---7--7---9----4--4--4--4--4--4--4 (also, at the end of this
they do
A/--7---7--7---9----4--4--4--4--4--4--4 the little 2--1--0 from
the main
E/--5---5--5---7----2--2--2--2--2--2--2 riff, but I like playing
it like this)



At the end of the first chorus hit the A5 as he says "to witness......"

Right before the second verse you do

F#5 A5 F#5
D/--4--4--4--4--7--7--7--7--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4
A/--4--4--4--4--7--7--7--7--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4
E/--2--2--2--2--5--5--5--5--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2

At the end of the second chorus you do the A5 and then a B5 as he
says "to stomach....."

Tabbed by,
Benson Morrill
