The Day I Tried to Live - SOUNDGARDEN
-------------------------------------
(off of the album Superunknown)
The intro is played by two guitars, one slightly distorted, the other
with a clean tone....the distorted guitar's riff is played a few more
times in different parts of the song. Just listen to it to get all
the parts right:
guitar 1 (a little distortion):
e |--12----10--9-12\7--6---|-6--6/8-8/10----------------| Repeat
B |------------------------|----------------------------| this 6 times
G |------------------------|----------------------------|
guitar 2 (clear tone):
comes in on second measure the first cycle of the riff guitar one is playing
e |------------------------|-7\12--12--12/7--7--7\12----| repeat 4
B |------------------------|----------------------------| times
G |------------------------|----------------------------|
on fourth time play this for second guitar:
e |-12/7--7--7\12--12-13/7-| e |--14/8-8\14-14\8-14/7-|
B |------------------------| then this B |----------------------|
G |------------------------| G |----------------------|
then the bass and drums come in for their little intro and during that
the distorted guitar plays something close to this slowly in rythym
with the bass:
D -12-12-12-12-12---12-12/11-11/10--10-10-10-10-10---10/9-9/8--8-8-8-8-8
then comes the main riff, and oh how nice it is:
all strums are DOWN-
e |-7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5/4-4/3-3-3-|
B |-7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5/4-4/3-3-3-|
G |-8-8-8-8-8--8-8/7-7/6--6-6-6-6-6--6-6/5-5/4-4-4-|
D |-9-9-9-9-9--9-9/8-8/7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5-5-5-|
A |-9-9-9-9-9--9-9/8-8/7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5-5-5-|
E |-7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5/4-4/3-3-3-|
I'm not sure but I think that right before the main riff is played
this chord is strummed once :
e 6
B 6
G 7
D 8
A 8
E 6
the main riff is repeated it I think 5 times and then goes back into
the intro riff the distorted guitar played and then back into the main
riff later and then....you get it.
oh, towards the end there's a little dink of a riff that sort of hangs
there until the end - I forgot to figure that out but it shouldn't
exactly be difficult.
that's about it.
disclaimer: I figured ths out on an acoustic guitar so keep that in
mind while you fix the mistakes....
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.
