This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Outro: Use time that Cornell is screaming to switch Digitech Whammy to 2 octaves up.

Depress the pedal each time you play the hammer-on. Use delay (not clear on how many

repeats). Repeat many times.
