Smashing Pumpkins - Song For A Son Tab

Hey,

This is a very beautiful, yet straightforward song. I would like to start off
by thanking mberning over at smashingpumpkins.com for starting me off with the
right chords:

        Am      C        D       F       E       E7
        0        0       2       1       0       0
        1        1       3       1       0       3
        2        0       2       2       1       1
        2        2       0       3       2       2
        0        3       0       0       2       2
        0        0       0       0       0       0

These are repeated in order throughout the verses. During the breaks between

Verses the order goes.

Am C D Am C D F E E7 So that's that. If you want to get the sound closer to the song, some chord manipulation must occur. The alternations vary, and here's my best guess: Am - Hammer on your pinky on the B string, then pull off your pinky, then index finger, then hammer on with your index again. Kind of like this
e 0
B 1h3p1 1p0h1
G 2
D 2
A 0
E 0
C and D - After the initial strum, pick each string of the chord

F - Pull off and hammer on your middle finger

E - After the first beat, place your pinky finger on the second fret of the 'G' string, then take it back off
e 0 0 0
B 0 0 0
G 1 2 1
D 2 2 2
A 2 2 2
E 0 0 0

Also, If you're like me, you really like that little intro riff he plays:

e
B
G 7h9p7 5h7 /9
D
A 0
E
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
