Anthony Angelozzi
Soundgarden- Burden in my hand
Before we get started- The recorded version is in open C tuning. I play in standard
so for this song I simply use a capo on the third fret (key of c). I will not sound
the same but it still sounds good. These are the chords for the rhythm guitar only.
Capo 3rd- all chords are relative to the capo
Verse 1: When playing the verses, play the root note(top note) of the chords twice
strumming-use open chords
Follow me into the desert
As thirsty as you are
Crack a smile and cut your mouth
And drown in alcohol
cause down below the truth is lying
Beneath the riverbed
So quench yourself and drink the water
That flows below her head
Prechorus- just strum
Oh no
There she goes
(Ax3)
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine (tricky rhythm, listen
the song)
Chorus
DCA
I shot my love today would you cry for me
DCA
I lost my head again would you lie for me
DCA
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
DCA
I lost my head again would you cry for me
Verse 2- same as verse 1, chords A,C,G, A
Close your eyes and bow your head
I need a little sympathy
cause fear is strong and loves for everyone
Who isnt me
So kill your health and kill yourself
And kill everything you love
And if you live you can fall to pieces
And suffer with my ghost
Chorus 2
DCA
I shot my love today would you cry for me
DCA
I lost my head again would you lie for me
DCA
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
DCA
I lost my head again would you cry for me
Bridge- strum each chord three times except DCA
Just a burden in my hand
Just an anchor on my heart
DCA
Just a tumor in my head
Verse 3- the same ,,,
So follow me into the desert
As desperate as you are
the moon is glued to a picture of heaven
And all the little pigs have god
Prechorus
Oh no
There she goes
(Ax3)
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine
Chorus 3
DCA
I shot my love today would you cry for me
DCA
I lost my head again would you lie for me
DCA
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
DCA
I lost my head again would you cry for me
DCA (strum 3 times)
Would you cry for me
