Okay, everyone, we've been duped by Billy Corgan.  You don't need to capo the
first fret or tune down a 1/2 step or anything.  Normal tuning, I swear.

intro/theme riff

---11----13----11----15p11------  play this cutesy little riff
------11----11----11-------11---  4x solo, then 8x with band
--------------------------------  behind playing these dist.
--------------------------------  chords:

Eb5  Bb  Ab
Eb5  Bb  Ab
Eb5  Bb  C  Ab
Eb5  Bb  Ab

The lead part is as follows:
repeat six times then do:                vib.
---------------------   --------------------8-------
------8-----8h9p8----   ------8-------8h9------8----
--8-8---8-8-------8--   --8-8---8-8-8------------8--

Eb5  Bb          Ab
  Today is the greatest day I've ever known
Eb5     Bb         Ab
  Can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow's much too long
Eb5    Bb      Ab
  I'll burn my eyes out
Eb5  Bb     C
  Before I get out

F   Ab     C    F      Ab         C
  I wanted more   than life could ever grant me
F       Ab     C     F    Ab     G   D5/A
  Bored by the chore   of saving face

The lead part over the above chords is really simple, play it on
the first and third times, over the C (8th fret) chord:
 slow bend w/vib
