I suspect it's CFCGBE (although I'm not sure about anything other than the bottom 2 strings) OK.. Bottom 2 strings only..

Note: it is not necessary to tune down for this song, it will sound right on a standard tuned guitar.. LIMO WRECK This song is FUCKING HARD.. INTRO: G-----5------5--- D-------3-2----0- G---5-------5---- C-0-------------- (repeat) Hint: use your 3rd and 4th fingers to fret the 2 G strings, so that you have the index finger free to fret the D string..

It seems easier that way. Verse: G-7--------7-4--3-/ C----8--7---------- (repeat) At some point in the verse there are heavily distorted unison bends played over this, and there is also a part (I think) where it returns to the second part of the intro. Chorus: D----3--2---------- G-6--3--2--6-3--2-- C-6--------6-3--2-- (repeat) That more or less wraps it up, though I'm sure I left some out... FRESH TENDRILS (from memory, not reliable :( ) G---------------------------- D----12---12----12---12\11-0- G--------------------12\11-0- D-12---------12----0--------- (repeat) G------------------------0-9/10-10-10-10--- D----12---12----12-12\11-0-9/10-10-10-10--- G------------------12\11-0-9/10-10-10-10--- D-12---------12--------------------------0- That's all I remember, except that the chorus is NOT in standard power chords OK, one from BadMotorFinger now.. HOLY WATER G---7---7\-------------7---7\---------------------------- D---7---7\-------------7---7\-------------7-9------------ A-----0------------------0----------------7-9--(7_9_7_9)- B-0--------3-5-6-5-3-0--------0-3-5-10-12---------------- The part in bracket is played VERY fast compared to the rest.. I'm sure you can get the timing from the record better than from my spacing ;) But this is unfortunately as far as I have got with this one.. But it's cool anyway :) NEW DAMAGE drop D G----------------0--- D-------------------- A-------------------- D-5--4--3--1-2-1---0- Chorus: D-12-12-12-12-12---11-11-11-11-11---10-10-10-10-10--5---8- A--------------------------------------------------------- D-12-12-12-12-12---11-11-11-11-11---10-10-10-10-10--5---8- (Repeat) Then G-----5-----5-----0--- D---5-----5-----5----- A-3-----3-----3------- D--------------------- Variations on main riff.. in place of 5-4-3: A---1-3 D-5---- A---1--- D-5---3- Also: G------------------------- D-----------3-5----------- A-3-2-----3-----1-3------- D-----5-3-----------3-5-0- This song is actually a lot easier to play tuned to DGDGBE (like Fresh Tendrils) taking this last thing into account, but it doesn't make a whole lot of difference :) Hope this satisfies, sorry I couldn't come up with anything else on your list :) Although I'm sure I posted some tab for Beyond the Wheel earlier on Matt ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: Is there anybody out there?

It was so damn funny because Ben Stiller was supposed to look like Chris Cornell (and he did so I actually didn't change the channel). One of the other guys looked like Kurt Cobain. They totally stereotyped the Seattle scene portrayed all of them to be grungie scumbags who suck playing music. In the end of the skit they were actually signed to a record label. It was so funny. Did anyone else see it?

It's freakin' awesome. Well, except for the wussy vocals at the beginning (ok, it's Axl...wussy lyrics all the way through). I mean, it sounds like he's trying to cry. Real singers don't cry (in the songs at least). :) Axl may suck as a singer, but he's a hell of a musician and a pretty good piano player. And Slash kicks ass on the guitar...but he's not quite a Kim Thayil. I don't like most of their music, but I have to admit I do actually like some of their songs.

The drummer in my band's uncle writes these fone numbers on his wall, and well he knows someone named Chris who goes to Cornell university,. and his number is on the wall... and anyway it looks just like he's got Chris Cornell's fone number, cuz well it says Chris Cornell, and then a fone number underneath.. if it was in the 206 area code wouldn't that be a trip =) and one night I was in Houston flipping through the fone book and I came across Chris Cornell, and well hehe I was like 'CHRIS CORNELL'S SUMMER HOME!' heheheheh... well I found out it was an old lady named Chris Cornell..... hahahahahahahaha I havent been geting much mail lately either... and I live in New York so maybe that downed fone line thinge happened to me too... well anyway Seth, in case I didn't get yer mail, can u use that bass tablature? and if you want me to send you a .zip file... in case they didnt come out right.. cuz aol fucked up the .txt letters and put them in a normal letter and distorted them...

I laughed my ass off about the florist. That's great. More, more! I need more! As for my input... I remember hearding my first soundgarden song "birth ritual" and being amazed. "What the HELL is he saying?" (Didn't understand a word, sir.) But I sang along anyway. I'd like to assert that I thought the first part of the the song was this: "Lie-a lie lee lah. Ava nabadha." Sing it loud, sing it proud. I am still not convinced of the words, even after reading them somewhere. Unless they came from the damn group, I have no faith in someone else's ears. Later on, Kate ------------------------------ From: Kate Mercier Subject: wallets and seasons I think that Chris making a wallet really isn't all that bizarre. He's in a studio for god's sake. I'ts boring sometimes. I think it symbolizes and respresents that he's making a wallets out of duct-tape, presumably to hold his money and credit cards and pictures of me. Does it have to mean anything more? About seasons... I've always sang it as: Summer nights and long warm days starving as the old moon falls and the mirror shows another face another place to hide it all... but who knows, maybe I'm on crack.

Wow! this back-masking thing is really sweeping everybody, even here...we just had a TV station do a rundown on the mostly rock songs ..well, some priest or pastor was the main culprit..he backmasked all the tapes he could get his hands on..I never really watch this show, but when i passed by it and saw the "Rusty Cage" video..I said, "Hey!! those fucking guys r airing Soundgarden!!!" and then from there i stuck on. Well, most of the bands, interviewed (who they claimed had satanic messaged on backwards) said that if you backmask a tape..you must be really sick, or you don't have anything to do at all..and what you wanna hear comes out, it's mainly how you interpret it. Well, backmask or not...I still listen to my CD's and tapes the regular way. Why would i wanna buy that stuff if I didn't enjoy the songs eh?
