Tuning:
This is a fairly easy song to play, and fun too. The chords are relatively simple, but I could never play the
Em chord correctly until I listened very closely and watched Dean DeLeo play. Enjoy and I hope that you rock
to this!
The intro solo is played on a slide guitar, but if you have a slide and want to hear it out, it shouldn't be
too difficult :D. Here are the chords:
Verse: Chorus: Bridge:
Em [022030] G [355433] G5 [355xxx]
C [x32010] A [577655] F5 [133xxx]
C7 [x32310] C [81010988] Asus2 [x02200]
E [022100]
Quick note: C in the chorus is a barre chord, and Asus2 is an optional chord (if you play F5 in its place it
sounds totally fine actually, maybe even better)
Intro:
Em C C7
Verse:
EmDriving faster in my CcaC7r.
EmFalling farther from just CwhC7at we are.
EmSmoke a cigarette and CliC7e some more,
C7These conversations kill.
EmFalling faster in my CcaC7r...
Chorus:
GTime to Atake her home,
CHer dizzy head is conscious laden.
GTime to Atake a ride, itC leaves today,
CNo conversation.
GTime to take her home,
CHer dizzy head is conscious laden.
GTime to Await too long, to Cwait too long,
CTo wait too long.
Bridge:

Slide Solo:
Em C C7
Verse:
EmToo much walking shoes worn CthC7in.
EmToo much trippin' and my Csoul's C7worn thin.
EmTime to catch her ride it CleC7aves today,
C7Her name is what it means.
EmToo much walking shoes worn CthC7in...
Chorus:
GTime to Atake her home,
CHer dizzy head is conscious laden.

EConversations G5kilF5l! Asus2 E
EConversations G5kilF5l! Asus2 E
(If you listen you can hear how the chords change)
Guitar Solo:
A(okay so this was really difficult but I found it out: play an A barre chord arpeggio--if you don't know what
that means all it is, is playing each note of the chord individually--on the low E, A ,D, and G strings, and
after playing the G string move your finger one fret up and back down)
Chorus:
GTime to Atake her home,
CHer dizzy head is conscious laden.
GTime to Atake a ride, it Cleaves today,
CNo conversation.
GTime to Atake her home,
CHer dizzy head is conscious laden.
GTime to Await too long, to Cwait too long,
CTo wait too long.
Bridge:

EConversations G5kilF5l! Asus2 E
E G5 F5 Asus2 E (End on E)
Conversations kill!

So that's it! I hope you enjoy, this is a great song. My chord variation may sound odd, but I can promise if
you play along you'll hear the difference. I always played it differently than this, and wondered why it
didn't seem right. I was able to adjust it thankfully. Rock on! RIP Scott Weiland.
