Mood for Trouble Soundgarden
Mood For Trouble
(words & music by Chris Cornell)
This is one of the finest songs off of -Ultramega OK- by Soundgarden. It
starts out with an acoustic strum and moves full swing into heart-wrenching
territory.
Basically, it begins with an acoustic strum of Am to C.
The basic strum is Am / // / / / // / / C / // / / / // /
This is played two times, then the two electric guitars, drums, and bass
comes into play.
While guitar 1 is playing A5 / // / / / // / / C5 / // / / / // /, guitar 2
is playing the riff on the A string:
[A5] [C5]
E --------------------------------------------------------------------- B --------------------------------------------------------------------- G --------------------------------------------------------------------- D --------------------------------------------------------------------- A -0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-10-10-10-10- E ---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is played two times, the you play:
[D5] [/] [//] [E5] [/] [/] [F5] [/] [//] [C5] [/] [/] [G5] [/] [//] [/] [/] [/] [//] [/] [/]
Then you play the A5, C5 part. This continues on until the song changes
to a play on Em, G, and A chords. I think in the order of Em, G (3x)
then A played 4 times. This is played again, and then the song goes
back to A5, C5. I think it ends on strumming the G chord, although
I am not too sure.
I believe the lyrics are (I am not too sure about them, though):
My mood was in full swing
My mood was in full swing
I wanted to be free
Free to (walk so stale?)
I did not want to hear
The perfect thing to say
Dying to squeeze out
The ugly truth for everyone to hear
I did not want to fight
I did not want to kill
I wanted to be real
I wanted to believe
That I was the only one alive
