Note that capo version makes it much easier to play as you can just hit the open low E string
and avoid some major fret traveling. When I play it in Std tuning, if playing the bass riff
notes only, I travel to the 1st fret for the Fm*/Em* (2nd beat) - it makes it fun and is how
I saw Nikki play it unplugged. But, if strumming chords, I cheat and mute the 2nd beat.

If not stated, I'm showing chords with Capo on 1! (slide them up 1 if not using!)

Intro:

Start with Main Riff (x4), then continue with...

Option 2 - Strum chords shown in parens above tabs (w/ Capo)
Option 3 - Try the alt. verse progression shown for Verse 2
Option 4 - Try playing Intro Part 1 - it fits and sounds pretty cool

I created this tab as my own worksheet for figuring the song out. Using tabs posted
(thanks h0bb3s and others). After going through all the work, reworking parts, figuring
out loose interpretation, I figured I should share it. Hope it is useful. This is a
really fun song to play - even though I hate the chorus lyrics (gay with all the itch,
glitch, switch rhyming - I try to sing/play the song like Smashing Pumpkins would).
