Chord Burden In My Hand by Soundgarden

most of the tabs for this song seem to be pretty good , but i Am far too lazy to retune my guitar too often or at all . . . , and i dont have a capo to use with the ver 2 chords tab . so this is rough transcription of that tab with a some help from the great guitar pro tab into some barre chords for standard tuning . not a perfect tab by any means , but great for strumming away with an acoustic guitar without much bother . major credit must go to the author of chords ver 2 , i’ve pulled some stuff straight from that and changed the chord names . chords : eadgbe C - x35553 D# - x68886 A# - 688766 G - 355433 G# - 466544 F# - 244322 F - 133211 verses : the verses all follow the same pattern . listen to the song to figure out the exact timings , this is just a rough guide . C D# follow me into the desert A# C as thirsty as you are C D# crack a smile and cut your mouth A# C and drown in alcohol and so on and so forth . now , the trick is to hit the low string/s i’m very lazy! twice each time you make a chord change . ’duh duh strum strum strum’ . except maybe on that second C in each section , it just sounds like strumming to me . listen to the song , you’ll figure it out! pre chorus : this is a little tricky . there are some odd timings here . having the song is helpful , but i strongly recommend the guitar pro tab , its really good for figuring out the timing of the last bit . this from the chords ver 2 tab seems to work well enough : D# C oh no D# C there she goes then the tricky bit : D# C D# C cc D# C D# C cc D# C cc D# C cc G D# C out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine chorus : this is a good chorus , with that great little descending tune after each line . again , this is very rough timing for the chord changes , listen to song! its pretty simple here . C A# G# D# A# F# F i shot my love today would you cry for me C A# G# D# A# F# F i lost my head again would you lie for me C A# G# D# A# F# F i left her in the sand just a burden in my hand C A# G# D# A# F# F i lost my head again would you cry for me at the end of playing the A# slide down to the G# . then continue to play the G# as per the song . bridge : taken pretty much from chords ver 2 play each chord 3 times C D# just a burden in my hand C G# just an anchor on my heart C G# A# F# F just a tumor in my head last chorus - repeat the second part of the last line; thats the part from G# onwards ’would you cry for me’ . then right at the end , it sounds like another C D# C , like in the prechorus . thats it! well , not really , but from there you can figure it out , and be as accurate or as lazy as you please . hope this helps someone , i really just wanted to play that great chorus riff without re - tuning and such .
