  Smashing Pumpkins - "The aeroplane flies high (turns left, looks right)"
  >From the single "The aeroplane flies high (turns left, looks right)" 
  taken from the album "Mellon Collie and the infinite sadness"
  
  Written by Billy Corgan
  
  
  
  Ok, first this is my first tab ever and I`m really not a good guitar player, but
  hey ! Rome wasn't built in a day, I`m just begining to learn !. I`m
  pretty sure that this song is played 12 step tuned down (tab is represented
  normal
  tuning) This song is real easy and you should understand it by looking at
  this tab.
  I wonder if someone out there would be kind enough to explain to me how to
  "D tune"
  the guitar, and "12 step down", "low to high",  and other things of
  interest. Any 
  really big SP fans out there like me ? Hey ! They rock BIG TIME ! I met
  Billy and the
  band earlier this year, I collect bootlegs and whatever one may find with
  the band. 
  Got the "aeroplane flies high box set" yet ? If you haven't, go get it if
  you can cuz
  there's only like 5000 in the world ! I`ve got it and u should too ! If u
  got some
  SP bootlegs and want to trade or sell, contact me ! And maybe I`ve got some
  that I might
  give up !

  (at some point the distortion kicks in (and later it goes off), you'll know
  when just by 
  listening to the cd, it's a simple song, I don't know the solo !)
  
  
  Basic Lyrics : (some repeats here and there, listen to the song and you'll
  get it!) 
  
  *
  "I really don't wanna look stupid when I`m sleeping"
  "I never really liked sunny days"
  "the black wings just reach out to me over a distance, and I can feel...the
  wind from my wings"
  "I see the clouds, I feel the ocean with my feet"
  "and I`m home again..... (or something?)"
  "requires an ability to judge distance"
  "the aeroplane turns left, looks right"
  
  love is a sentimental heart
  life is a sentimental way
  spy the fragile heart so cursed
  as he walks across the earth
  I`m disconnected by your smile
  disconnect a million miles
  and what you promies me
  i hope will set you free
  I`m disconnected by your smile
  and all I gave to you is lost
  and all you took from me is lost
  black wings carry me so high
  up to meet you in the sky
  I`m disconnected by your smile
  disconnect a million miles
  and what you promies me
  i hope will set you free
  I`m disconnected by your smile
  wishing you were real to me
  wishing I could make belive
  I`ll take my secrets to the grave
  safely held beneath the waves
  always knew I couldn't save 
  always knew I couldn't save you
  
  
  * Billy speaks this in the start of the song over basic chord progession.
  (also there is alot of mumbling in this song, but it isn't that important
  to the song so I didn't care to include it)
