thanks (in part) to Guitar World Magazine

I decided to re-tab my earlier cherub rock tab because, basically, it wasn't
very good.  Anyways, here it is:

----12-12---12-12---12---12-12---12-12-12-----  repeat 6x,
----------------------------------------------  clean guitar,
-----9--9----9--9----9----9--9----9--9--9-----  straight eighths
----------------------------------------------  except for tie
-----7--7----7--7----7----7--7----7--7--7-----  where the space
--0-------0-------0------------0----------0---  is


-------------------------------------  4x with heavy dist.,
-------------------------------------  lots of guitar noise,
-----9-9---9-9---9---9-9---9-9-9-----  then play:
-------------------------------------
-----7-7---7-7---7---7-7---7-7-7-----
---0-----0-----0---------0-------0---



-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
-----13-13---13-13---13---13-13---13-13-13-----
-----------------------------------------------
-----11-11---11-11---11---11-11---11-11-11-----
---0-------0-------0------------0----------0---



-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
-----16-16---16-16---16---16-16---16\----------
-----------------------------------x\----------
-----14-14---14-14---14---14-14---14\----------
---0-------0-------0------------0--x\----------


then play Riff 1 twice:

                   vib.        
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
--11\9-----13/14---13----11\9-------
------------------------------------
---9\7-----11/12---11-----9\7-------
-------0-0-------0----0-0-----0-0--- and then these two triad chords:

--------------------
--------------------
---2---2-x----------
---4---4-x--2---2---
---5---5-x--4---4---
------------5---5---

then Riff 1 once along with Riff 1a variation, just don't pull
off of the 9 on the A string and slide back up to the 11th like
this:

Riff 1a:---------------------|V

----------------------------|------------------------------
----------------------------|------------------------------
--11\9-----13/14---13----11-|-11/13-----13/14---13----11---
----------------------------|------------------------------
---9\7-----11/12---11-----9-|--9/11-----11/12---11-----9--  ...etc
-------0-0-------0----0-0---|-------0-0-------0----0-0-----

(see chords formations at the end of the file:)

[verse]
Freak out, give in,
        Dmaj            Amaj
Doesn't matter what you all believe in
               Dmaj          Amaj
Stay cool, and be somebody's fool this year
                        Dmaj              Amaj
'Cause they know who is righteous what is bold
C        G
  So I'm told

[chorus]
D   A     C  G      D    A               C  G
Who wants honey, as long as there's some money
D   A          C
Who wants that honey..

[verse]
                     Dmaj              Amaj
Hipsters unite, come align for the big fight to rock for you
                     Dmaj              Amaj   
But beware all those angels with their wings glued on
                        Dmaj                  Amaj
'Cause deep down we are frightened and we are scared
C              G
  If you don't stare

[chorus]

[bridge]
E  D5     A(ii)  C5  G5/D
   Let me out
E    D5     A(ii)  C5  G5/D
Let  let me out
E    D5     A(ii)  C5  G5/D
Let  let me out
E    D5     A(ii)  C5  G5/D
Let..let me out....

Then play this riff, similar to the opening one:
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
----9-9---9-9---9---9-9---9-9-9-----13-13---13-13---13---13-
------------------------------------------------------------
----7-7---7-7---7---7-7---7-7-7-----11-11---11-11---11---11-
--0-----0-----0---------0-------0-0-------0-------0---------

------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
-13---13-13-13-----16-16---16-16---16---16-16---16-16-16----
------------------------------------------------------------
-11---11-11-11-----14-14---14-14---14---14-14---14-14-14----
----0----------0-0-------0-------0------------0----------0--


---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
---19-19---19-19---21---21-21----------
--------------------------------x\-x\--  into the guitar solo...
---17-17---17-17---19---19-19---x\-x\--
-0-------0-------0------------0-x\-x\--  

Play these chords under the solo:

Dmaj - Amaj - E
Dmaj - Amaj - E
Dmaj - Amaj - E
Dmaj - Amaj - C - G

D         A           C  G  
  Tell me all of your secrets
D        A          C     G
  Cannot help but believe this is true
D         A           C  G
  Tell me all of your secrets
  D             A                 C                   G
I know I know I know, should have listened when I was told.

[chorus]

The lead "weedle-a" guitar parts for "Tell me all.." are as follows:

          vib....    vib.   sustain,vib.      sustain,vib.
---10(12)-b10-----------|---10b12--b10\---------------------
------------------------|---------------------10------------
---------------12-11----|-----------------------------------
---------------------12-|-----------------------------------
------------------------|-----------------------------------
------------------------|-----------------------------------

            vib.                                vib.
---10b12b10-----------------10b12b10-----10b12--b10---------
------------10-----------10----------10---------------------
----------------12-11---------------------------------------
----------------------12------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------

                       vib.     slow bend    feedback, vib.
---17b19--17--15p14-----------------------------------------
--------------------15-10--\----10b12--------10(12)---------
---------------------------\-----------------10(11)---------
---------------------------------------------10-------------
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------

back into Riff 1 once, and Riff 1a seven times through the end.
play this through the end, after the riff has been played four
times... use 16th note strums, one measure on each chord except
for the end chord, which you can figure out by listening to the
song.                      hold          guitar noise
------------------------------------------------

--11---12---14---17---0-----2---2\--x-----------

I haven't heard the accoustic version but i think that the following is
close to the version from the CD. . .

intro:
e------------------------------------||--------------------------------------
b------------------------------------||--------------------------------------
g---9-9---9-9---9-----9-9---9-9-9----||-13-13---13-13---13--13-13--13-13-13--
d------------------------------------||--------------------------------------
a---7-7---7-7---7-----7-7---7-7-7----||-11-11---11-11---11--11-11--11-11-11--
e-0-----0-----0-----------0--------0-||0-------0------0-----------0--------0-
  ^       ^       ^         ^         ^         ^        ^         ^

e--------------------------------------------||-----------------------------------||
b--------------------------------------------||-----------------------------------||
g--16-16---16-16----16---16-16----16-16-16---||11\9------13\14---13-----11\9------||
d--------------------------------------------||-----------------------------------||
a--14-14---14-14----14---14-14----14-14-14---||-9\7------11\12---11------9\7------||
e-0------0--------0------------0-----------0-||------0-0-------0-----0-0------0-0-||

Repeat the first bar. The next two bars lead into the verses. 
The verses use the last bar (repeated twice) and then D and A for 2
beats each.

The chorus goes something like:

   D  A  C  G

The bridge is 

   E   D (D5?)  A    C    G/D(D5?)

I think that's most of it. you might try moving ther chords up and down
the neck. I've never seen it played live so i'm really not sure how
billy corgan does it.
