PLUSH Stone Temple Pilots Simplified interpretation - intended to be close enough to jam to, not exact! I offer, hopefully, all the breakdown and detail you need to get started on this classic. Add in complexity as desired with other tabs. I've migrated about 5 tabs into this version, and modified some of that to an easier set. Now, this has just become the way I play the song all the time, so I thought I'd share. (Oh, and below is the best breakdown of the intro). Tuning: Down 1 whole step (to D) (1/2 step works nicely too) Chords: G = 3x0033 (or 320033, open G) G2 = 355433 (G barre) Gm = 355333 (or use 365333, x11333) D/F# = 2x0232 F = 133211 C = x32010 D = xx023x (or xx0232) Cadd9 = x3x030 (or x32033) G/B = x2x033 (or x20033) ------------------ Section breakdowns Intro: |.1..&..2..&..3..&..4..&..|.1..&..2..&..3..&..4..&..| v v v (u) v v vu v v v v (u) v v vu v D|-3--3--x-(3)-3---3-33-3--|-3--3--x-(3)-3---3-33-3--| A|-3--3--x-(3)-2---2-22-2--|-1--1--x-(1)-0---0-11-2--| F|-0--0--x-(0)-3---3-33-3--|-2--2--x-(2)-0---0-00-0--| C|-------------------------|-------------------------| G|-------------------------|-------------------------| D|-------------------------|-------------------------| (repeat as needed) then on last one... v v v (u) v v vu v v v v (u) v (t tt t) D|-3--3--x-(3)-3---3-33-3--|-3--3--x-(3)-3~----------| A|-3--3--x-(3)-2---2-22-2--|-1--1--x-(1)-0~----------| F|-0--0--x-(0)-3---3-33-3--|-2--2--x-(2)-0~----------| C|-------------------------|------------(0)~---------| G|-------------------------|-------------------------| D|-------------------------|-------------------------| v = down strum u = up stoke x = palm t = tap/drum on acoustic (prior to verses) Verses: |G D/F# |F C |Gm | (x2) |1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . |1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . |1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . | // xxxx // xxxx // xxxx // xxxx // xxxx // xxxx (/=strum, x=mute, this is like radio version) or // x/// // x/// // x/// // x/// // x/// // x/// (on acoustic one mute does trick) (over lyrics) |1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . | |G D/F# | And I.. feel..... that |F C | time's a wasted go. |Gm | So whereya going to to- |G D/F# | -morrow?

The closest tab shows a Eb7/G (365333) played for both of these. Though, that didn't sound right and was hard to play (maybe the later is why it sounded off to me). I think the Gm with the mellower Chorus 1 ("where you going for tommorrow...") strumming and mutes sounds pretty cool (even if not exact). Then switching to a regular G bar in the main Chorus ("when the dogs to find her...") sounds just fine for rocking it out a bit more (changing things up, etc). Same thing with the regular F barre, sounds just fine to me, and matches up with my Gm and G barre nicely. If my chords are too simplified, tinker with them. But, I layout the song and break it down it with good enough detail that this version should be useful. -C. Hall
