This is personally my favorite soundgarden song of all time and its really fun to play as well. I find it crazy that there are no good tabs for this song so i find it nessesary to create one so people who enjoy this song as much as i do can have a tab for it as well. I created this tab from a combination of personal transcription and Ryan Lendt's YouTube who makes wonderful videos, I highly recommend him to any guitar player. This song is in CGCGGE(with the b string tuned down to be in unison with the g string) tuning which can be annoying to tune to at first but if you do it enough you can get a good ear for it, and its also used in other soundgarden songs such as pretty noose and Burden in my hand. Also this song of course has a few guitars tracked over each other and such and im going to be tabbing the best way to imitate the album recording with one guitar so it wont be exact. But anyways, enjoy!
