#            "ZERO" by Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins)             #
#  As heard on the 1995 album "MELLON COLLIE AND THE INFINITE SADNESS"  #
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------#

This song is a little crazy, but you should try it out. Corrected the
main riffs to be octaves instead of chords but I'm still not sure
about that insane solo...

G1: Eb (EbAbDbGbBbEb) -Electric Full Distortion (Billy Corgan)
G2: Eb (EbAbDbGbBbEb) -Electric Full Distortion with phaser (James Iha)
G3: Eb (EbAbDbGbBbEb) -Pre-recorded G2 or G1 w/ 1 addtnl' semitone down effect
