This is a very easy and great song to play. The last guy who posted this was
correct on the chord progression but wrong about the chords themselves. I
used his progression to figure out how the song is really played. And I play
the notes how I think they are on the album. I have a pretty standard
pattern through the whole thing. It's in the key of D minor. Not E minor
like the previous posting said. The tuning isn't 100 percent necessary but
it makes the beginning of the verse sound really good if you hit that bottom
D note. And if you ACCIDENTALLY hit the bottom string it won't sound too bad
either.

Play Verse Part:
I must obey the ...
Play first 2 bars of Verse again:
There must be somethin....
Play Chorus two times:
Far away far ....
Then end it by playing the first 4 bars of the Verse Part again and ending
it on the Cmaj chord. Ending it on C major makes it sound much more moody
than just ending on D minor (The song's key).
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.
