"7 Caged Tigers" -- Stone Temple Pilots

Here's what I came up with after a couple of listens to the song.
I haven't worked out the solo yet, so please send me a copy if you
do it before I get the chance.  I tried to get the basic feel for
the fills with the add "/" notes for some chords, but didn't spend
enough time to really be sure.

Chords (standard tuning):

(verse 1)
E             G          C            C /B C /B
Pass the time kickin' as time rips by
G          Bm         E
Neither goose nor the gander fly
Gmaj                  /A   E
Buy a minute spend an hour burnin', burnin'
D                  C     B           /D# /E /F#
Take a peek as the model earns it, earns it
E                 G     C                 C /B C /B
Walk a mile as it keeps crawlin', crawlin'
G         Bm          E
Clean the politician, wash with everpure

(chorus)
D#                 A#
So the answer gets harder, harder
D#                      A#
And the truth's getting farther and farther
D#                   A#
And the bottle keeps churnin' and churnin'

Seven caged tigers fly

(verse 2,3)
G       Bm                 E
Wastin' time chasin' those cows that fly
D            C        B         /D# /E /F#
Churnin' out all that butterfly sugarboost
E         G                  C                   C /B C /B
Track the blade as it sweeps downward and onward
Gmaj              /A           E
Take a pill it'll kill all the martyrs, martyrs
G            Bm         E
Passin' time rippin' as time kicks by
D        C               B             /D# /E /F#
Pass the umbilical chord down for this fly by
E                      G     C                  C /B C /B
Take a sneak while the model earns it, earns it
G           Bm          E
Hike a mile as it keeps crawlin' on crawlin' on

(chorus)
D#                 A#
So the answer gets harder, harder
D#                      A#
And the truth's getting farther and farther
D#                   A#
And the bottle keeps churnin' and churnin'

Seven caged tigers fly
