• Song:

    Jesus Christ Pose

  • Artist:

    Soundgarden

  • Album:

    Norway 1994 (disc 2)

Here's a partial tab for one of Soundgarden's heaviest songs!

Notation:
x -muffled string.
> -accent.

Drop D Tuning
Intro- sounds like a pedal low D (more or less in free time!) 
I cant remember what the bass plays during the 'power chords and
widdle-widdle-WAH' bit, but i suspect it's just the low D doubling the
power chords. It shouldnt be too hard to figure out 8)

Main verse riff:
G|---------------------------------------------------------| x lots 8)
D|---------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0000800808888-0000800808888-0000600606666-0000600606666-|

Spoken: "Arms held out, in the jesus christ pose"
G|----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------6---5-3-653-|
D|-0-0012-121210-1010-1012--0-0013-131310-1010-1312---6---5-3-653-|
       ^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^      ^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^
       All of the above are either 10s 12s or 13s, not 1,2, 3 etc

After " - than to bury you - whore!"
G|-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
D|-xxxx1212-xxxx1212-xxxx1010-xxxx1010-|

         two 12's.         two 10's.

Outro: same as the other bit I don't know (low D's?) followed by crazy
ad-libbing 8)

Anyway, the skeleton of a kick-arse song is here - listen to it to get the
timing etc. Enjoy!
