SOUNDGARDEN - "Sunshower" Tablature

Sunshower
Written by Chris Cornell for the Great Expectations soundtrack (1997).
This transcription is just of the basic chord pattern. I not including some of the other guitar parts because they run along the same lines as the guitar part here and are pretty easy to figure out.

Tuning: Standard
