G3 do not correspond to the rhythm of G1&2's tab. Listen

Well, there's Whir for you. I still can't figure out the
E's and other chords under the chorus (Whir yourself around...
part) If you know it please E-mail me. Enjoy it. Hope
it's not too confusing (I didn't wanna tab out repetitive
lines) and it helps out. Please send comments to

Whir-Smashing Pumpkins
Tabbed by Andy Davidoff
Based on tab from Bryan Pero (perob@willow.uml.edu.)
Last time I saw Whir tabbed it was by someone who said it was their first
attempt at tabbing. I went through it and it was all pretty close, but I
knew that something was missing, so I sat down and listned hard for a long
time, and this is the new tab I came up with. Any comments, changes, or
criticsm will be accepted by e-mailing me at .
