SOUNDGARDEN - "Cold Bitch" Tablature
Official SOUNDGARDEN Tablature & Sheet Music »
Cold Bitch, by
Soundgarden, found as
Track 2, on
Spoonman single, being in length
5:22, hereby tabbed by
Rigel Freden
This is a really cool song. I would advise picking this single up purely for the song if
it is available in any way. (e-mail me and I'll try to come up with an mp3 for it). Better yet, get it from Napster!
Dropped D tuning.
b is anything between 1/4 and 1/2 bend, v is vibrato
Fades in with open (g?) string feedback and Chris Cornell screaming.
notations in par () are optional or "maybes"
Please note also that this is really the guitar tab, so the 1/4 bends
probably aren't accurate.
Funky time to start with. (~4/4 beat but difficult to count in 4/4). If you can time it, submit the correction.
Bass--guitar is the same except for solo

#---------------------------------PLEASE NOTE----------------------------------##This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of 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 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.
