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
