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~~~~-|
|-0------12------10------7------5------4------3-----------------|

Trill the last notes.

Riff 2
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------11--------9-------6------4--------------------------|
|-0------12----12--10---10--7---7--5---5--4------3------2br-----|

Riff 3
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|--------11-11-11-11-11-11---9--9--9--9--9--9--5-5-5-5-5-5-|
|-0------12-12-12-12-12-12--10-10-10-10-10-10--7-7-7-7-7-7-|

|-5-5-5-5-5-5--4-4-4-4-4-4--3-3-3-3-3-3--2-2-2-2-2-2-|

Riff 4 Fill 1
|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-| |----------|
|-/5-5-5-5-5-5-3-5-3-5-3-5---3-5---3-5---3-5---3-5-| |-/9--(9)\-|
|--------------------------4-----4-----4-----4-----| |----------|
|--------------------------------------------------| |----------|

|--------------------------------------------------| |----------|

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. :)
