"7 Caged Tigers" -- Stone Temple Pilots



Here's what I came up with after a couple of listens to the song.

I haven't worked out the solo yet, so please send me a copy if you

do it before I get the chance.  I tried to get the basic feel for

the fills with the add "/" notes for some chords, but didn't spend

enough time to really be sure.



Chords (standard tuning):



   Gmaj     G/A     E        D       C        B        B/F#

                    0   00   xxo     x  o o   x    x   x

Wastin' time chasin' those cows that fly

Churnin' out all that butterfly sugarboost

E         G                  C                   C /B C /B

Track the blade as it sweeps downward and onward

Gmaj              /A           E

Take a pill it'll kill all the martyrs, martyrs

G            Bm         E

Passin' time rippin' as time kicks by

D        C               B             /D# /E /F#

Pass the umbilical chord down for this fly by

E                      G     C                  C /B C /B

Take a sneak while the model earns it, earns it

Hike a mile as it keeps crawlin' on crawlin' on
