Track 2, on
Spoonman single, being in length
5:22, hereby tabbed by
Rigel Freden 

This is a really cool song.  I would advise picking this single up purely for the song if
it is available in any way.  (e-mail me and I'll try to come up with an mp3 for it).  Better yet, get it from Napster!

Dropped D tuning.

b is anything between 1/4 and 1/2 bend, v is vibrato
Fades in with open (g?) string feedback and Chris Cornell screaming.
notations in par () are optional or "maybes"
Please note also that this is really the guitar tab, so the 1/4 bends
probably aren't accurate. 

Funky time to start with.  (~4/4 beat but difficult to count in 4/4).  If you can time it, submit the correction.

Bass--guitar is the same except for solo
