Tuning: E A D G B E
Chris played this demo on a 12 string acoustic guitar in the home recording:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGRhW1fGyiU
There are at least two guitar tracks present. He uses a modified Open G tuning: DGDGBc.
An electric version would later be re-recorded for Soundgarden's Superunknown.
