Eye
Off the lost Highway OST (1997)/
Rotten Apples – the greatest Hits (2001)
Written by Billy Corgan
Tabbed by Jimi
Eb 

Pretty much one of the easiest songs.
I didn´t tell you how often every riff
is played. It´s just so simple to dis-
tinguish.  

Turn up the basses, no high mids. Some
compressor effects and tons of reverb,
use a light wha-wha effect on the riffs
if you want the sound to be as soft as
on the record.

Intro: Main Riff twice

Verse:

only Bass

"Eye waits…"

When Billy sings "Is it any wonder? – I can´t sleep"
play Main Riff.

The next part goes that way:

(reverb)
|--1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0---|
|--1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3---|
|--2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0---|
|--3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2---|
|--3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3---------3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2---|
|--1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-x-x-x-x---------1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0---|

"Turn to the gates of Heaven…"

For the bridge without vocals, resume Main Riff, with
James playing this:

|----------------|
|----------------|
|--1412/1412---| whammy bar
|----------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|

Then the bass continues playing the Verse, while all guitars
are completely silent. 
After this the Main Riff´s played another time and the part
with the heavy reverb when Billy sings "It is not enough"
comes up.

The Interlude´s just Bass over James´s wha-wha guitar,
when Billy sings "Turn to the gates…" but the reverbed
part is substituted.

D´arcy
|-------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------|
|------------------5-5----------------|
|--5-5-----3-3-------------1-1--------|

James (reverb) 
|--12h13p12----12----------------------|
|-----------15----15-13p12h13-12-------|
|--------------------------------14~---| very slow
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|

repeat this circa three times and then go to the Outro:

D´arcy
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------| just like the Outro of 
|-----------------------|  the everlasting gaze
|--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0---|

Billy + James
