"conversation's
hell..."
bridge: start off with an e-minor, then it's pretty much whatever you
want until the next pre-chorus. Here are some of the important parts,
though.
rhy fill 1: (every once and a while...)
-----------
---2-3-2---
---2-2-2---

and then there's a cool base part:
A-----7-9-10-9-7-0-2-4/5-2-0-2-0-----
E---0----------------------------3---
and then the pre-chorus:
---3---2-3-2---2-3-5---3-5-7---5-7-9---7-9-10----10----10-play 10s
----------------------------------------------10----10----a bunch of
----------------------------------------------------------times, then
----------------------------------------------------------just start
----------------------------------------------------------going up the
----------------------------------------------------------neck
guitar 2
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------5/6/7/8/9/10/
-----------------------------------------------5/6/7/8/9/10/ and such
---------------------------------------------0-3/4/5/6/7/8-/
chorus again and then "converation's hell" again and if you've ever
heard the song before in your life you know how it goes. End with riff
3 and a long drawn-out last chord. I probably forgot some parts, but my
hands are getting tired. E-mail me at captain_zodiac@hotmail.com with
questions/suggestions. Thanks.

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.
