Subject: TAB:BlackHoleSun chorus
Here's the first bit of chorus from Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun. I
played it with my chorus cranked all the way to the right for short
bandwith to give it that
70s' oscillatory effect, with lots of distortion and flange/echo.
It's from memory so be forgiving...

Heres the chorus for Black Hole Sun.
IMPORTANT: You MUST use dropped-D tuning (tune your low E string down to D)

sun won't you come won't you.....
After the first chorus, I believe the barre chords in subsequent choruses
are C-A#-D (instead of C-D shown above).
Anyway, the above sounds close to my ears. However, I don't have a copy
of the album, so corrections are welcome. Anyone who has figured out the
verse chords, please post. I'm trying various triads around the octave
fret but just can't seem to nail it.
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 SOUNDGARDEN 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.
