I've been wanting to post this song for a while as it is my all time
favorite Soundgarden song, but I've kept on making corrections to this file.
But here's what I've ended up with:
Riff 1:
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------0-------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------4h5tr~~~~-|

Trill the last notes.
Riff 2
|---------------------------------------------------------------|

Solos:
The solos are improvised and relatively easy considering most SG solos. It
takes place mostly on the 12 frets and 9 frets around the E minor pentatonic
scale with maybe a G# or something added here or there.
I don't know most of it but here's a part at the end of one solo:
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|-7/9-9-9\7/9-9-9\7-etc...-|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
Riff 1 is the intro and verse part and is played at the begining of the
first two verses.
Riff 2 is played during the verses after Riff 1 is played and sometimes
after Riff 3 is played.
Riff 3 is played at the beginning of the third verse.
Riff 4 is played after every solo and played 2 times after the second solo.
Fill 1 is played after Riff 4 the first two times.
The solos are played after each verse for 8 bars each and Chris sings over
the last one.
The bass plays Riff 1 for the verses and 'solos' during the solos.
End on this:
|--------------||
|--------------||
|--------------||
|--------------||
|--------------||
|-0------------||
Then quickly pick up a harmonica and play a bar or two and the song is over. :)
