Snail Lyrics

SNAIL - Gish - Smashing Pumpkins
h = hammer on p = pull off > = vibrato
/,\ = slide up, down fb, hb = full bend, half bend
fr, hr = full release, half release * = artificial harmonics
INTRO:
Guitar1, (clean)
|-A--Em--G-| The G is played like: |32003x| except 3rd time where
its played like |320033|. The fills are below:
Then comes:
Guitar2, (distorted)
Then both guitars play G then D/F#, these can be played in two different
ways either as open chords: G |320033|, D/F# |200232| or as barre chords:
G |355233|, D/F# |254232|.
The majority of the song revolves around A, G, and D/F#.
Guitar2 continues playing this progression:
|--A----G--D/F#--A----G--A----G--|
During the beginning of this, Guitar1 plays a little solo:
|-6>---6-6hbhr6h7r6---------------------------------|
|-------------------------*12hbhr-------------*12>--|
And where the progression above holds on the G chord twice there is
a G note played on the 5th fret of the D string in unison.
Guitar2 then repeatly plays Riff1 until the quiet part:
Riff1:
|-A--G--D/F#-|
Under the progression there is a little riff:
|---------------5-5-4>---------------5-5-4>--------------------|
|-5>--5-7--------------5>--5-7------------------------------5--|
Now when Riff1 stops on the D/F# chord, slide up the F# note
on the 2nd fret of the low-E string to a G note on the 3rd
fret of the same string while partially muting the other strings.
Riff1 continues and this solo is played over it:
|-----------------------------------------10>--8h10p8---8/14>---|
|-10>------------------------------9-11>--------------11--------|
|--16hbhr-14*14hb>>--17fbfr-(18)--------------------------|
|----------------------------^-mute with another finger---|
Now the quiet part comes in. It's just the A, G, D/F# chords
played over, but arpeggiated with certain notes left out.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ ^--distortion comes back
Now Guitar2 starts playing Riff1 again.
These fills are also played over it:
|--12p11p9-11p9--------------------------/11--12--14>>---|
|--------------10h12--10-9h10p9>-------------------------|
|---------------5-5-4>---------------5-5-4>--------------------|
|-5>--5-7--------------5>--5-7------------------------------5--|
Riff1 ends on A and the song slows down again playing
this Riff2:
^-------------------------------^-------Riff2 repeats.
And this solo comes during Riff2:
|----------------------------------------------19fb------|
|--------------------------------16fbfr-14>>--------X\---|
|-5>>--7>>>----5-5-/9-/11-/14>----------------------X\---|
|--18h19r18h19r18r16h18r16h18r16--X\---------------------|
The X\'s are pick slides. The first pick slide should be fast and
over the pickups on the indicated strings, this should give a
similiar sound. The second is a tad bit slower well in front of
the lead pickup.
Riff2 then continues with distortion, and the song ends on an A chord.
