Cold Bitch Tab

by Soundgarden


Cold Bitch, by
Soundgarden, found as
Track 2, on
Spoonman single, being in length

This is a really cool song.  I would advise picking this single up purely for the song if

Dropped D tuning.

b is anything between 1/4 and 1/2 bend, v is vibrato
Fades in with open (g?) string feedback and Chris Cornell screaming.
notations in par () are optional or "maybes"
Please note also that this is really the guitar tab, so the 1/4 bends
probably aren't accurate. 

Funky time to start with.  (~4/4 beat but difficult to count in 4/4).  If you can time it, submit the correction.

Bass--guitar is the same except for solo

feedback until drums dictate otherwise, then
play verse riff 4 times
play verse variation twice
play chorus 4 times
play verse riff thrice
play verse variation once
play bridge once
play pre-solo 4 times
play solo while bass does its thing
(there is actually a guitar doing the bass's thing during this part too but don't worry
about that because this is the only point where there are two guitars playing at once).
play chorus 4 times
play bridge once
