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

RHINOSAUR

SOUNDGARDEN

This is in my opinion the easiest song on "Down on the upside"

Theres not much to it anyway except that it's pretty cool...

Dropped D tuning

Intro:

e:----------------------------------------------------

B:----------------------------------------------------

G:---------------------------------------------------- X4

D:--------8h10--10--10-10--8--------8h10--10--10--8---
A:---8h10-------10--10-10--8---8h10-------10--10--8---
E:--------------10--10-10--8--------------10--10--8---

There's another guitar playing something else over this, but

it's to noisy for me to figure it out.

Verse 1:

e:------------------------------------------------

B:------------------------------------------------

G:------------------------------------------------ X4

D:---10\------------8h10--10--10--8--------8h10---
A:---10\-------8h10-------10--10--8---8h10--------
E:---10\------------------10--10--8---------------

Chorus:

e:-----------------------------------------------------

B:-----------------------------------------------------

G:----------------------------------------------------- X3

D:--3--3-3------2--2-2---------1--1-1--0--3/5--5-5-5---
A:--3--3-3------2--2-2---------1--1-1--0--3/5--5-5-5---
E:--3--3-3------2--2-2---------1--1-1--0--3/5--5-5-5---

only happy when you hurt...

e:----------------------------------------

B:----------------------------------------

G:----------------------------------------

D:--3--3-3------2--2-2--------1--1-1--0---
A:--3--3-3------2--2-2--------1--1-1--0---
E:--3--3-3------2--2-2--------1--1-1--0---

only empty in your arms

Verse 2:

With intro, X4

Verse 3:

Same as verse 1.

Chorus 2:

Same as chorus 1.

Then you get to the fast part during which comes the solo:

e:----------------------------------------------

B:----------------------------------------------

G:---10h12-12--10h12-12--10h12p10---------------  Many many

D:---------------------------------------10h12-- times

A:---------------------------------10h12--------

E:----------------------------------------------

Chorus 3:

Same as the other ones.

Outro:

play verse 1, 4 times and that's it.

LYRICS:

Standing with my enmies

Hung on my horns

With haste and reverie

Killing with charm

Only happy when you hurt

Only deadly in a swarm

Only healthy in the dirt

Only empty in your arms

I play, i'm sick and tame

Drawing the hordes

I wait and show the lame

The meaning of harm

The skulls beneath my feet

Like feathers in the sand

I graze among the graves

A feeling of peace

(chorus)

Only bending when you break

Only feeding when you're cold

Only healing when you ache

Only feeling when you don't

Enjoy.

Drink milk

J.P.
