The Day I Tried to Live - SOUNDGARDEN

-------------------------------------

(off of the album Superunknown)

The intro is played by two guitars, one slightly distorted, the other

with a clean tone....the distorted guitar's riff is played a few more

times in different parts of the song. Just listen to it to get all

the parts right:

guitar 1 (a little distortion):

e |--12----10--9-12\7--6---|-6--6/8-8/10----------------| Repeat

B |------------------------|----------------------------| this 6 times

G |------------------------|----------------------------|

guitar 2 (clear tone):

comes in on second measure the first cycle of the riff guitar one is playing

e |------------------------|-7\12--12--12/7--7--7\12----| repeat 4

B |------------------------|----------------------------| times

G |------------------------|----------------------------|

on fourth time play this for second guitar:

e |-12/7--7--7\12--12-13/7-| e |--14/8-8\14-14\8-14/7-|

B |------------------------| then this B |----------------------|

G |------------------------| G |----------------------|

then the bass and drums come in for their little intro and during that

the distorted guitar plays something close to this slowly in rythym

with the bass:

D -12-12-12-12-12---12-12/11-11/10--10-10-10-10-10---10/9-9/8--8-8-8-8-8

then comes the main riff, and oh how nice it is:

all strums are DOWN-

e |-7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5/4-4/3-3-3-|

B |-7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5/4-4/3-3-3-|

G |-8-8-8-8-8--8-8/7-7/6--6-6-6-6-6--6-6/5-5/4-4-4-|

D |-9-9-9-9-9--9-9/8-8/7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5-5-5-|

A |-9-9-9-9-9--9-9/8-8/7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5-5-5-|

E |-7-7-7-7-7--7-7/6-6/5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5/4-4/3-3-3-|

I'm not sure but I think that right before the main riff is played

this chord is strummed once :

e 6

B 6

G 7

D 8

A 8

E 6

the main riff is repeated it I think 5 times and then goes back into

the intro riff the distorted guitar played and then back into the main

riff later and then....you get it.

oh, towards the end there's a little dink of a riff that sort of hangs

there until the end - I forgot to figure that out but it shouldn't

exactly be difficult.

that's about it.

disclaimer: I figured ths out on an acoustic guitar so keep that in

mind while you fix the mistakes....
