Zwan - Of A Broken Heart Tabs

Zwan
Of a broken Heart
Off Mary Star of the Sea (2003)
Written by Billy Corgan
Eb

This has to be the most gorgeous
song on the debut. Use a capo on
the second fret to get the right
sound. The solo was tabbed for a
guitar with capo, like the whole
other parts. Ahm,…you´ll have to
play my notation when you got no
capo, I mean…Alright?

The guitars are underlayed with 
decent reverb, and Matt uses 
several volume switches for his
verse lead…


Main strumming pattern of Billy

|----2---2---2--4-4--2-2-2--2-2-2-2---|
|----2---2---2--5-5--4-4-4--4-4-4-2---|
|---------------4-4--4-4-4--4-4-4-----|
|---------------2-2--4-4-4--4-4-4-----|
|---------------2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2-----|
|--2---2---2--------------------------|

You see, without a capo it would simply be 
E | D | A | A  and a capo transforms the
tab into this.  

For the Intro play Billy´s pattern and this 
lead of Matt after the little double stop at 
the end of Billy´s pattern when it was played 
the first time:

|-----------------------------16p14-------14----14h16---16b-16~---14---|
|------------14-14h16---------------14-16----16------------------------|
|--11h13---------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

So David just strums the chords the whole song
thru, and Matt plays this lead over the verse:

              8x         8x
|-14-|-------14-|-------16-|
|----|-14h16----|-16h18----|
|----|----------|----------| play this twice but the second time without
|----|----------|----------| the first 14 on the e string.
|----|----------|----------|
|----|----------|----------|
      ^          ^        
gradually volume swells every measure, as loud as possible and then start
again…

|--16h18~--16---16/18--16--14~-14~-14~---|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|

|----------------------------------------|
|----16--14-14h16~-----------------------|
|---------------------12r11---9--9/11b---|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|

The rhythm guitars play a slight variation when
Billy sings "A feeling I hide…":

Billy
|--2-2----2---2---2--2-2-2--2-2-2-2---|
|--4-4----2---2---2--4-4-4--4-4-4-2---|
|--2-2---------------4-4-4--4-4-4-----|
|--4-4---------------4-4-4--4-4-4-----|
|--2-2---------------2-2-2--2-2-2-----|
|-------2---2---2---------------------|

David: Asus | E | A | A 

After the second chorus Billy starts playing a solo,
while Matt continues with the Verse Lead and David
holds the rhythm.

That´s it mostly…I only have to add the progression. First you 
start with the Main strumming Pattern twice as an Intro with
David and Matt building up te second time. Then it´s just the
long lead part of Matt and Billy´s and David´s main Pattern/
Progression of chords, twice again with that slight variation
(Asus chord first) once and the Main thing once and four times
for the chorus ("Until I die…"). Play all this expect the Intro
again and then go to the solo, the small verse part afterwards 
is just the the Main Pattern and variation. And as an end on
after the last chorus, play just that A chord thing.
