This is the tab/chords for the actual Chris Cornell solo version of this

song, not Audioslave's studio

version. Here is a link to my video on how to play this song:

https://youtu.be/3R11l5UQtMM

Chris often plays the Bm and Bsus2 chords with an F# in the bass. He also

varies how he plays the Em7 chord,

from simply lifting off of the 6 string when moving from G to Em7, to putting

his second finger on the second

fret of the D string. During the Bridge, listen for when Chris lifts off of

the 2nd string when playing Bm

to turn it into Bsus2. During the first part of the Outro he picks the

strings individually on the Bm a bit.

[Verse 1]
Bm D G Em7
Someone falls to pieces sleeping all alone, someone kills the pain
Bm D G Em7
Spinning in the silence, she finally drifts away
Bm D G Em7
Someone gets excited in a chapel yard, catches a bouquet
Bm D G Em7 Em7
Another lays a dozen white roses on a grave

[Chorus]
Bm D G Em7
And To be yourself is all that you can do Heyyy-eeeey
Bm D G Em7
To be yourself is all that you can doooooooooooooooooooooo
