Sweet Sweet by Smashing Pumpkins

SWEET SWEET:  This sad little ditty is simply a progression of 3 basic chords,
               G C and Em.  The song sounds OK like this, but G tuning makes it
               sound close to the Siamese Dream version.
                                                        --> E G D G B E <---

Intro:
-=-=- |--------------------------------------------0---0--|r      play this

      |--10--------------------------8---8----0----0---0--|t    <------------

- or something like that anyway.  After 2 bars, guitar 2 comes in with the
     following:

      |-----------------------------------------------0------|
      |-------------------------------------------------0----|
      |---0---0---0---0---------9---9---9----------0------0--|
      |-----------------12-9-10--10--10----------2-----------|
      |----------------------------------------4-------------|
      |--------------------------------------0---------------|

 - guitar 2 continues arpeggiating this pattern throughout the whole song.


 Verse:  After the Intro, guitar 1 starts to strum the chords outlined above
 -=-=-      for the rest of the song.  After the 1st "and they all want you to
            change..", a 3rd guitar plays this in 3/4 time:


        |-------10------10---------10--
        |----12------12------12-12-----
        |--0-------0-------0-----------   or something close to it anyway.
