Great Tab buddy. just want 2 add 4 the record...chill the **** out people, why so much hostility twords people listing tabs?!?!?!?! not just this one, but everyone I look up theres a bunch of *******s ready 2 pounce on whomever listed it 2 correct them. I didn't know there were so many unemployed guitar heroes out there with nothing better 2 do tyhan troll ult guitar and attack every kid who posts a tune?!?!?! even is there R a couple errors, if your a competent player, you can figure them out, instead of acting like a jackass and jumping down the guy's throat about it....it's about having fun, playing music, and trying 2 help one another out!!! if you can do better post the damn song yourself next time instead of searching it, then blasting the poor kid that at least had the balls post his version of it...4 Christ's sake people, grow the **** up....

Im not going to say you're an idiot or anything, you just haven't done your research; Billy Corgan was their lead guitarist.

I think you missed the guitar part when he goes into "even though I know", and I think your chorus is wrong. Not the part the Billy plays, the part James plays. Just thought I'd comment.
