Anthony Angelozzi anth@camden.rutgers.edu E-mail if you have any questions Soundgarden- Burden in my hand Before we get started- The recorded version is in open C tuning. I play in standard so for this song I simply use a capo on the third fret (key of c). I will not sound the same but it still sounds good. These are the chords for the rhythm guitar only. Capo 3rd- all chords are relative to the capo Verse 1: When playing the verses, play the root note(top note) of the chords twice strumming-use open chords

^AFollow me in^Cto the desert As th^Girsty as you a^Are ^ACrack a smile and c^Cut your mouth And d^Grown in alcohol^A cause d^Aown below the t^Cruth is lying B^Geneath the riverb^Aed

^ASo quench yourself and dr^Cink the water That fl^Gows below her h^Aead

Prechorus- just strum
