These chords are not necessarily correct; I picked all this up
by ear, so I could be wrong.
CHANGES: Since the first submission, I've listened more
attentively to the song and have found corrections to be made.
A major one is the F#m in the verses and how it's made (now an
F#msus4/E, to be technical, and I'm leaving the m in just
because that's how it was before) and the construction of the G,
as well as a minor one in the refrain chord repeat cycle.
If you find errors, or want to make any other comments, please
e-mail me. This is a great song - thanks to STP for it, and
hope you enjoy playing it!

Basic progressions:
E F#msus4/E G/E F#msus4/E
Am D Dsus4 D C/G D11 Am D Dsus4 D C/G D11
(note: Am here can have the 9th added for emphasis, to Am9,
and barre chords can be substituted for different effect...
I have not tabbed out all the barre chords above - if you can
play them, you probably know them already. Also, when
changing from the C/G to the D11, you can slide the whole
chord, which I believe is done in the song.)

(note: Originally, I had the lyrics
written with the chords synched above them, where they
would go, but it seems that most tab sites don't want any
lyrics anymore, so this is just the progression. If you want
my full original tab, with lyrics, you can e-mail me.)

Play twice
Then play over chorus
(play arpeggiation over seven repetitions of lyrical chorus,
then once over whistling of chorus melody;
play normal chord progression for chorus if playing chords)
Repeat, fade out...
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 STONE TEMPLE PILOTS 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.
