Smashing Pumpkins - Panopticon Tab

I figured this thing out completely by ear so both guitars are jammed together in some
parts but it's perfect if you just want to play along to it. At first I was very iffy on

The intro but after watching them play it live I'm sure its 100% accurate.

Intro: Billy Plays...

If that's too hard then just play it like this...
