Written by Chris Cornell
From "Down on the Upside" Album
tabbed by jjhand

I have seen other tabs of this song but they don't look right, so I did it.
An acoustic is also used to thicken up some parts, but I wrote this for 2 
Guitars in Drop-D Tuning. 

Intro/Verse Riff - w/ warm distortion (turn back volume knob a little)
e|----------------------------|
B|----------------------------|
G|----------------------------|
D|----3-------3----3---5-3----|
A|----5--5----5--5---5-----5--|
D|-0--0-----0-0---------------|

Before each chorus end verse riff with:
e|-----------------|
B|-----------------|
G|-----5-----------|
D|-----5-----------|
A|--5\-3-----------|
