Circle of Power
(words by Hiro Yamamoto, music by Kim Thayil)
This is the song that ends Side A on -Ultramega OK- and it is sung by
Soundgarden~s then bassist, Yamamoto. Quite an interesting song. Anyway,
basically the main riff for this song is:
E --------------------
B --------------------
G --------------------
D --------------7--7--
A -7--7-5--5-5--------
E --------------------
This opens up the song and appears during the interlude. Blah blah blah
blah blah blah. Anyway, the chords played through are the power chords:
F#5, A5, G#5, G5
These chords are played on the A string, meaning F#5 should be played
on the ninth fret of the guitar and it goes up to A5 on the twelfth, then
going down to G#5 then G5. After that a riff comes that plays the root
note of these chords on the E string like this:
A -------------------------------------------------
E -2-2-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-
That is basically the song in a nutshell and rest is future.
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.
