This sounds like it is played with two 6-string electrics and one
acoustic guitar. All have standard (EADGBE) tuning. This tablature
is my own work, it may be distributed freely.
Guitar Setup:
Acoustic - None
Guitar 1 - Sounds like you use a medium overdrive. On a Line6 pod, I
Used Brit Hi-Gain, no effects, 50% drive. This guitar
Switches between that and clean (chorus/verse respectively)
Guitar 2 - Sounds like the same overdrive setup - but with that weird
Chris Cornell sound, so I'm not sure how to get the exact
sound. This guitar is only used for Riff II below
Playing:
This is mainly a rythym guitar song. There are a lot of changes and a lot
of strange chords. So the hard part is remembering all the changes.
Only a couple of changes are physically difficult. But nothing
outrageous.
I am not a big fan of typing out the lyrics and putting the changes
above them, but since there is a change about every 2-4 words, it
seemed appropriate. OLGA rules forbid putting all the words. So I have
included the first few words, so you know where the changes are.
Now, onto the song....

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CHRIS CORNELL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
