Song

The Day Seattle Died by Cold

from the album "Year of the Spider"

This song is tyte,about kurt cobain and layne staley,frontment of the grunge bands

and Alice in Chains.

Tuning:Standard (Tune thickest string to E,then next to A,D,G,B and thinnest to also E)

I had a little help from the site with the header "Spread the Cold"....ill post the link in the comments

of this tab as i cant find it right now

Thankyou,anonymous webmaster :P!

Cold plays in the tuning 2 steps down(i.e thickest string C then F,A#,D#,G and C) but i

made this for standard for anyone who doesnt want to go through the hassle of tuning...

Chorus p.m. during chorus

They play powerchords but in the song it doesnt seem like a complete powerchord so i omitted

the final 3rd note in the powerchord....if it doesnt work for you,use the complete form of

a power chord i.e the X13XXX will become X133xx
