RHINOCEROS, from Gish, Smashing Pumpkins

- Aside from the solo, this is unquestionably the easiest song by the Pumpkins
  to play.  It sounds great with two guitars.

Intro:  Guitar1, (clean)
=====   =======
          |----------------------------------------|
          |----------------------------------------|   repeat this for
          |----------9---------9/11--11--11-11-----|   several bars...

          |----------7---------7/-9---9---9--9-----|
          |--0---0-------0-0---0-------------------|

        Guitar 2, (flanger and some delay), let top 2 strings ring

    - This is the repeating riff in the song; at the D-chord, guitar 2
    arpeggiates the 6 strings.

    - after Billy says "...see you in June...", guitar 1 repeats the intro riff
     while guitar 2 lays this 'Gershwin' riff over it:

           ---9/11-11-11-11/12--12-12-12---
           --------------------------------

CHORUS:  Guitars 1 + 2,(clean first time, distorted thereafter)
======
        The way......        she knows....
    |----0-----------3----------0-----------------------  If you're playing a
    |----1-----------3----------3-----------------------  strat, switch to the
    |----0-----------0----------2-----------------------  bottom pick-up to
    |----2-----------0----------0-----------------------  emphasize top string
    |----3-----------2----------------------------------  on that D chord thing
    |----------------3----------------------------------
      C mjr        G mjr      D whatever

BRIDGE: Guitar 1, guitar 2 solos overtop (bigtime distortion)
=======
        |----------------------------------------
        |------------------------5---5-7--7--7---   you get the picture
        |------------------------5---5-7--7--7---

        |-7---7-5---7---5-7-5----3---3-5--5--5---
        |-5---5-3---5---3-5-3--------------------


2nd VERSE:   join Gershwin riff to the previous repeating riff during
+========      "...open your eyes, to these must I lie?..." and add the bend:

          |---0-------------
          |---0-------------
     .... |--11b1211b12-----    once
          |---0-------------
          |---9-------------
          |--10-------------
FINAL VERSE:    James plays C G D progression while Billy lays these overtop:
===========

  |----------------------------   ---------------------------------------------
  |---------------------------- a ---------------------------------------------
  |---------------------------- n ----11-12--11h12p11p9------------------------
  |---------------------------- d ----------------------12---10-9--------------
  |-(10)b9--7--5--5--7--5--7--9   --------------------------------12-10-9------
  |----------------------------   ----------------------------------------12-10

  The last chord is that weird D.  Hold till fade, then take a step towards the
 amp and weave some magic.
