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
[A]Follow me in[C]to the desert
As th[G]irsty as you a[A]re
[A]Crack a smile and c[C]ut your mouth
And d[G]rown in alcohol[A]
cause d[A]own below the t[C]ruth is lying
B[G]eneath the riverb[A]ed
[A]So quench yourself and dr[C]ink the water
That fl[G]ows below her h[A]ead
Prechorus- just strum
[C]Oh no[A]
[C]There she g[A]oes
[C] C [A](Ax[C]3)[A] [C]
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine (tricky rhythm, listen
the song)
Chorus
[A]I shot my l[G]ove today wo[F]uld you c[C]ry for me[DCA]
[A]I lost my h[G]ead again wo[F]uld you l[C]ie for me[DCA]
[A]I left her in t[G]he sand just a bu[F]rden [C]in my hand[DCA]
[A]I lost my h[G]ead again wo[F]uld you c[C]ry for me[DCA]

Verse 2- same as verse 1, chords A,C,G, A
Close your eyes and bow your head
I need a little sympathy
cause fear is strong and loves for everyone
Who isnt me
So kill your health and kill yourself
And kill everything you love
And if you live you can fall to pieces
And suffer with my ghost
Chorus 2
[A]I shot my l[G]ove today wo[F]uld you c[C]ry for me[DCA]
[A]I lost my h[G]ead again wo[F]uld you l[C]ie for me[DCA]
[A]I left her in t[G]he sand just a bu[F]rden [C]in my hand[DCA]
[A]I lost my h[G]ead again wo[F]uld you c[C]ry for me[DCA]
Bridge- strum each chord three times except DCA
[A]Just a burden in my h[C]and
[A]Just an anchor on my h[F]eart
J[A]ust a tumor in my h[C]ead[DCA]
Verse 3- the same A,C,G,A
So follow me into the desert
As desperate as you are
the moon is glued to a picture of heaven
And all the little pigs have god
Prechorus
[C]Oh no[A]
[C]There she g[A]oes
[C] C [A](Ax[C]3)[A] [C]
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine
Chorus 3
[A]I shot my l[G]ove today wo[F]uld you c[C]ry for me[DCA]
[A]I lost my h[G]ead again wo[F]uld you l[C]ie for me[DCA]
[A]I left her in t[G]he sand just a bu[F]rden [C]in my hand[DCA]
[A]I lost my h[G]ead again wo[F]uld you c[C]ry for me[DCA]
F C DCA A(strum 3 times)
Would you cry for me
