Chords

This is tabbed of the album Euphoria Morning. The tab is based on the assumption that the song is composed in E, It's hard to hear on the album what the acoustic guitar is actually playing, and there seems to be no footage of Cornell playing it. However, many of the other songs on Euphoria Morning are composed in E or Em, e.g. Can't Change Me, Flutter Girl, Sweet Euphoria, Disappearing One, so I'm guessing the same goes for When I'm Down. Anyhow, here you go.

The door is       opening

On your vigil

              A     Am6
And I'm on my usual way

Opens its arms to me

Leaving you alone

            A     Am6
And then I fly so far away

           E/G#         F#7sus4 F#7
Until the light blurs my vision

  E7/G#                A
And I have nowhere to roam

        Am      E/B B7sus4/F#           E         C

But one thing for you to keep in
