Mood For Trouble

(words & music by Chris Cornell)

This is one of the finest songs off of -Ultramega OK- by Soundgarden. It

starts out with an acoustic strum and moves full swing into heart-wrenching

territory.

Basically, it begins with an acoustic strum of Am to C.

The basic strum is Am / // / / / // / / C / // / / / // /

This is played two times, then the two electric guitars, drums, and bass

comes into play.

While guitar 1 is playing A5 / // / / / // / / C5 / // / / / // /, guitar 2

is playing the riff on the A string:

A5 C5

E ---------------------------------------------------------------------

B ---------------------------------------------------------------------

G ---------------------------------------------------------------------

D ---------------------------------------------------------------------

A -0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-10-10-10-10-

E ---------------------------------------------------------------------

This is played two times, the you play:

D5 / // E5 / / F5 / // C5 / / G5 / // / / / // / /

Then you play the A5, C5 part. This continues on until the song changes

to a play on Em, G, and A chords. I think in the order of Em, G (3x)

then A played 4 times. This is played again, and then the song goes

back to A5, C5. I think it ends on strumming the G chord, although

I am not too sure.

I believe the lyrics are (I am not too sure about them, though):

My mood was in full swing

My mood was in full swing

I wanted to be free

Free to (walk so stale?)

I did not want to hear

The perfect thing to say

Dying to squeeze out

The ugly truth for everyone to hear

I did not want to fight

I did not want to kill

I wanted to be real

I wanted to believe

That I was the only one alive
