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

This is a slight improvement of the tab sent by:

Winston Campbell <jieuryli@eden.rutgers.edu>

(music by Hiro Yamamoto, words by Chris Cornell)

This cool gem is off of the fine -Ultramega OK- album (which is their first

full length album). The best way to do this is to break the song up into

riffs, which is what I have done. I play this song in drop D tuning

because I find it easier to do it that way.

Riff 1:

E ----||-----------------------------|
B ----||-----------------------------|
G ----||-----------------------------|
D ----||-----------------------------|
A ----||-----------------------------|
D 19\-||-7--4-7--4-7-4-7--4-7--4-7-4-|

Riff 2 (palm muted)

E |-------------------------------|
B |-------------------------------|
G |-------------------------------|
D |-------------------------------|
A |-7--4-7--4-77-4-7--4-7--4-77-4-|
D |-7--4-7--4-77-4-7--4-7--4-77-4-|

Riff 3:

----------------------------------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------------------------------|
-9--7-9--7-9--9--7-9--7-9--9--7-9--7-9--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|
-9--7-9--7-9--9--7-9--7-9--9--7-9--7-9--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|
-9--7-9--7-9--9--7-9--7-9--9--7-9--7-9--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|

Riff 4:

E |------------------------|
B |-----5-------6/8\6--5b--|
G |--------7-5-------------|
D |-5h7--------------------|
A |------------------------|
D |------------------------|

Occasional Riff:

E |-----------------|
B |-----------------|
G |-4h5-4~--3h4-3~--|
D |-----------------|
A |-----------------|
D |-----------------|

Play the Occasional Riff after Riff 1 and 2 occasionally.

Sometimes Riff:

E |-----------------|
B |--6~~~~--7~~~~---|
G |--8b~~~--9b~~~---|
D |-----------------|
A |-----------------|
D |-----------------|

End is:

E |----------------------|
B |----------------------|
G |----------------------|
D |--7--------4\---------|
A |--7--------4\---------|
D |--7--------4\---------|

Play the Sometimes Riff instead of the chord at the tenth fret of Riff 3

after the first two times through.

The song structure is as follows:

Bass plays Riff 1 (2x)

Riff 1 (4x), Riff 2 (4x), Riff 3, Riff 2 (4x), Riff 3, Riff 1

(2x),

Riff 2 (4x), Riff 3, Riff 2 (4x), Riff 3, Riff 1 (2x), Riff 4

(8x),

Riff 1 (4x), Riff 2 (4x), Riff 3, Riff 2 (4x), Riff 3, Riff 1

(2x),

Riff 4 (8x), STOP FOR THREE SECONDS

Bass plays Riff 1 (4x)

Riff 1 (4x), END

The lyrics are:

I don't care if it takes some time

Gonna make it right

I'm gonna make it right

Turn the head to 360 degrees

Bite the hand that feeds

I don't care if it tastes like poison

Rip the legs from the thighs

Feed the prison, open the eyes

I don't care if it tastes like poison

I'm gonna feed the prison

Feed the prison

Color in with lakes of red

Pile of bones for my bed

I'm gonna take some time

I'm gonna take some time

Feed the prison

Not a tear will be shed

The only color is red

I don't care if it takes some time

I'm gonna make it right

I'm gonna make it right

Turn the head 360 degrees

Bite the hand that feeds

I don't care if it tastes like poison

Rip the legs from the thighs

Feed the prison

Open the eyes

Not a tear will be shed

The only colour is red

I don't care if it tastes like poison

I'm gonna feed the prison

I'm gonna feed the prison...
