CATHERINE - Songs About Girls
This is the FIRST of many Catherine tabs that
I will be typing up. This is a great band that
will be getting a lot of attention soon I bet.
I suspect that most people that use this tab will
be from the Smashing Pumpkins Mailing list.
Anyway, here is my attempt at the first song on
the Sorry album, Songs About Girls.
TUNING - Dropped D (D A D G B E)
INTRO/VERSE

First three chords played in clean tone for intro,
distortion on there after.

PLEASE send me any corrections (I am sure there are many
in this), comments, or just to tell me that you are

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CATHERINE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
