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
A           C
Follow me into the desert

     G             A
As thirsty as you are

A                  C
Crack a smile and cut your mouth

     G              A
And drown in alcohol

       A              C
cause down below the truth is lying

 G                A
Beneath the riverbed

A                        C
So quench yourself and drink the water

       G              A
That flows below her head
Prechorus- just strum
C    A
Oh no

C          A
There she goes
C A C A C
     C      (Ax3)
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine             (tricky rhythm, listen
the song) Chorus

I shot my love today would you cry for me

A          G           F        C              DCA
I lost my head again would you lie for me

A              G                F    C              DCA
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand

A          G           F        C              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

Just a tumor in my head
