Cold Bitch Bass

(ver. 1)
Soundgarden
Cold b**ch, by
Soundgarden, found as
Track 2, on
Spoonman single, being in length

This is a really cool song.  I would advise picking this single up purely for the song if
it is available in any way.  (e-mail me and I'll try to come up with an mp3 for it).  Better yet, get it from Napster!

Dropped D tuning.

b is anything between 1/4 and 1/2 bend, v is vibrato
Fades in with open (g?) string feedback and Chris Cornell screaming.
notations in par () are optional or "maybes"
Please note also that this is really the guitar tab, so the 1/4 bends
probably aren't accurate. 

Funky time to start with.  (~4/4 beat but difficult to count in 4/4).  If you can time it, submit the correction.

play solo while bass does its thing
(there is actually a guitar doing the bass's thing during this part too but don't worry
about that because this is the only point where there are two guitars playing at once).
