Let me run through the complete chord set

plus a tab for the small interlude.

E? 022130

C7 032310

Repeat these two chords for the intro, verses and slide guitar

interlude.

Chorus is all standard chords

G       A                  C            

Time to take her home  her dizzy head is conscience laden

Time...(etc..etc)

Time...

G       A                C

Time to wait to long to wait to long to wait to long

Then play this a few:

    (G5)       F7        (F?)(F7)

|---3---------1---1-------0---0--|

|---3---------1---1-------0---0--|

|---4---------2---2-------2---1--|

|---5---------1---1-------0---0--|

|---5---------3---3-------2---2--|

|---3---------1---1-------0---0--|  ..these conversations kill......

That's pretty much it, with the exception of that

small interlude. Try it and you'll know where it

goes. The whole thing is based on a barred A chord

on the second fret. No challenge here! :)

|--------2-3-2------2----2-3-5-3-2-------|

|--------------2-------------------2-----|

|-----2----------2----2---------------2--|

This may not be 100% correct. With the amount of distortion

on the chorus I have a hard time picking out whether or

not there is any variance on the A & C chords.

I will tab the slide solos at another time. They are very simple,

and if you don't have a slide you can use pretty much anything

smooth and rounded such as a bottle neck or even a Bic Lighter.

I just don't have the time to tab right now.

I've got only the chorus.  My bro has the verse part but won't teach me it.

(Go fig!)  Anyway, the chorus has a moving G-chord and has an E-chord in there

somewhere...

NOTE: I am not a very good guitar player so all I'll write is the TAB.

      You'll have to figure out the timing and such.

-------3------------5------------8---------------------------------

-------2------------4------------7---------------------------------

-------3------------5------------8--------------------------------- `

        Time to     take her...  dizzy head is conscience laden...

Repeat the above progression  according to the song...

-------3----------------------------------0---------0--------0----

-------3----------------------------------0---------0--------0----

-------0----------------------------------3---------1--------1----

-------0----------------------------------3---------3--------3----

-------2------------0----2-----0----------3---------3--------3----

-------3----------------------------------0---------0--------0----

I'm not sure if that's right.  I have no guitar in my midst right now, but I'm

pretty sure that that';s how it goes for the chorus. I hope this helps.

Subject: TAB: "Big Empty" by Stone Temple Pilots (improvement)

the verse is  E7  C7  being struck a couple of times each and then being

muted (listen to the cd for timing).

E7  x2213x

C7  x3231x

i'm not sure about the bridge but i know it's three chords, it begins with G

major and ends in E7.  the middle chord is some form of F (maybe F5).

G  320033

Big Empty

Stone Temple Pilots

Driving faster in my car

Falling farther from just what we are

Smoke a cigarette and lie some more

Cause conversations kill

Falling faster in my car

Time to take her home

Her dizzy head is conscience laden

Time to take a ride that leaves today

No conversation

Time to take her home

Her dizzy head is conscience laden

Time to wait too  long, to wait too long

To wait too long

Too much walking shoes worn thin

Too much trippin and my soul's worn thin

Time to catch a ride that leaves today

Her name is what it means

Too much walking shoes worn thin

Conversations kill...

And as for the tab/chords...

all I know is that there's a moving G-chord in the chorus part...I don't know

how it ends though...if anyone does have the tab/chord stuff, post it.
