SUNSHOWER v1.2 - contains chord diagrams, fills/riffs, and guitar solo

Sunshower (Chris Cornell from the OST of Great Expectations)

- chris cornell
- published by chris cornell music/tcf music publishing. inc ascap
1997 a&m records/polygram company


- the guitar is tuned in standard version (EBGDAE), although
i have a weird hunch that Chris Cornell used another unorthodoxed
tuning (as he did in his other Soundgarden soungs (eg. Head Down,
Limo Wreck, Pretty Noose, Burden in My Hand, etc.). (I also noticed that
the solo/riffs were similar to the songs above.) Earlier, i tried to
figure our the song ("kapa"), using Open C, Open G, and this weird
tuning
(DGGDGGD). Using DSChordfinder (by 1994/1995 Dubbledam Software),
i got the gist of the song, then i tried to figure out the roots of the
chords by ear.  Sunshower is a great song; very powerful indeed.
(reminds
of "The Day I Tried to Live"/"Head Down"). The second verse has this
sub-aquatic wah arrangement in the background (reminds me of Bread's
"If").
If there are any corrections, please don't fail to inform me.

There have been a lot of requests for the chord positions, so here
goes...

for sunshower, check out the guide below: (x = dead: actually, the
chords aren't strummed per se... pick the bass notes first, then
the treble notes afterwards)

              G/F	G/E	G/Bb	G/C     G/B	Cdim

1e		3	3	3	3	3	2
2B		3	3	3	3	3	1
3G		0	0	0	0	0	2
4D		0	0	0	0	0	1
5A		x	x	1	3	2	x
6E		1	0	x	x	x	x

see the pattern (as compared to the chart above?)



Oh yeah, do this before switching to G/B:

G|---0 H 2 --| (D chord position, plucking strings 1&2 afterwards)

Play with the chords in this song: the D's are
actually Dsus/D progressions (like what you hear in old songs such as
 "Patience"/"Guitar Man"... u know..."ang pinaka gas-gas na rhy. fill.")
The A's are quick progressions of A's and Asus's; play with your E's by
placing 4 (your pinkie) on D (2nd string, 3rd fret). Well,
enough of the blabbering...



Intro:
	D (actually Dsus-D) - G/B - G/F - G/E - G/Bb -  A - Asus


D	        G/C	        D                           G/B    G/Bb
Dark as roses   Fine as sand   feel your healing   and your sting again

D                        G/B       G/F       G/E      G/Bb       A-Asus
hear you laughing and my soul is saved  on forgotten graves you cry


(do chords indicated above, gtr 2. with wah)

cry like ivy
up my spine
through my nerves
and into my eyes
cuts like anguish
or recollections
of better days gone by


             Bm                 D                     F#m
but it's alright  when you're caught in pain  and you feel the rain come

Bm - A

down

           E              D                     F#m                   Bm
- A
it's alright   when you find your way  then you see it disappear

          E                 D                   Cdim             G

it's alright  though your garden's gray  i know all your graces  someday
will

	  G/Bb - G/A			D -- *

flower			in a sweet sunshine


eyes like oceans
so far away
a feather trail
to a better way
worried mornings turn
into days
then into worried nights
but it's alright
all you'll be you are today

Guitar solo:

(do the ff. chords...)

D - C - B - Bb - B - G# - G - (F#) - F (6E open)

repeat ?times, then B - G#...


guitar 2, steady glis.

B2|- 1 s 3(33) s 5(55) s 6(66) s 7(77) 7b - 8b - 7b (continue
downward...

you can figure it out)

s = slide; b = full bend; H = hammer-on; P = pull-off

other stuff:

* after 1st chorus:

guitar 1: - using D chord position, pluck the following strings

rhy fill1          3G| - 2 0
	 	   4D| 0 - -  (strum the entire chord; just emphasize
			       on the previous transcription)

guitar 2: - while doing rhy fill1

riff 1		2B| 15 15 - 14   - 12 12
		3G| -------------------- 14 ~~~

                * or probably do 14 on the G string than the 1st note
