Today Tab

I've seen a lot of tabs for this song, and many have gotten close but have failed to recognize important
changes in the song. First off, as The Smashing Pumpkins often do, this song is played 1/2 step down on the
album. Also, notice that the chord progression in the second chorus is different from the first chorus, many
people have ignored this. Anyways, I couldn't have done this without the help of previous tabs, so consider
this a combined effort of how the tab should be.
