To Forgive by Smashing Pumpkins

Intro:

|----5-------0------2-----2----2-----------2---------------------------------|
|-3--------2------0----------------------------------------------------------|
The rest of the song is correct in the other tabs...just thought I'd send 
my version of the intro.  Remember the tuning is Eb.  I think the rattling 
in the background is the rattle of the drums.  You'll recognize it if 
you've ever played in a room with drums.  Enjoy. :-)  Alex Spitzer.


 TO FORGIVE

 One of the most emotional sounding songs on the
 double CD... great stuff.

 1/2 step down (Duh)

   Really unsure about the open strings up there :)

CHORUS - Main riff except where it says "Nothing is Important"
it goes to this instead of the normal bit.

A....B....C#....D..E..F#....G....A....B..C#
Back down..                      *
                    Higher Octave then previous
A....B....C#....D..E
Back down again

B...C#...D..E..F

Back to the main thingy.
