S.T.P - "Still Remains"
From the Album Purple
Words by Weiland
Music by DeLeo and DeLeo

Transcribed by Travis Miguez 

A few notes:

This is only my interpretation of the song. The actual guitar 
part is much more complex and may even involve alternate 
tunings.  My version is based for an acoustic guitar (i.e. 
those camping trips) as I have tried to include base notes 
which may or may not be actually played by Dean.  If you are 
looking for the note for note version of this song - buy the 
book!!!!!

P.S. If your fingers are squeeky clean - then so too will
your song be as there is along of fingertip sliding.


Janna Leigh Mount - If you should die before me, ask if you 
could bring a friend.


Intro:
  G(no5) 
    |A(no5)                A(add4)    
    | |                      |    x 3
||----------0--0-------------------||-0----0-----0----------|
||----------0--0-------------------||-0----0-----0----------|
||*-4/6-6-6-6--6-4/6-6-6-4/6-7-6--*||-6----9----14----------|
||--5/7-7-7-7--7-5/7-7-7-5/7-7-7---||-7----9----14----------|
||*-2/4-4-4-4--4-2/4-4-4-2/4-5-4--*||-4----7----12----------|
||--3/5-5-5-5--5-3/5-5-5-3/5-5-5---||-5----8----13----------|

*N.B.  best fingering for the A(no 5) is:

 4th | 1 | | | |  (you get used to it!!)    | | | | | |
 5th 2 | | | | |                            2 1 | | | |
 6th | | | 3 | |   * to play the A(add 4) : | | |(3)| |
 7th | | 4 | | |     bridge your pinkie     | | 4 4 | |
     | | | | | |     over the two strings   | | | | | |
                     and slide your first 
                     finger up one fret. (You might get away             
                     with not sliding your finger up by just 
                     creating a pseudo-A(add 4) with your 
                     4th finger bridging the two strings.



and the last two chords of the intro are of the form:

     | 1 | | | |      just reverse your last two fingers.
     2 | | | | |
     | | 3 4 0 0
     | | | | | |
     | | | | | |

Verse (use intro riff 4 times - not the last three chords)


Our bed we live, our bed we sleep
Making love and I become you
Flesh is warm with naked feet
Stabbing thorns and you become me

   (T)
 * Play the base note with your thumb.

Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me ask if you could bring a friend

F      G                 Dsus2            A
Pick a flower, hold your breath and drift away...

To verse:

She holds my hand we share a laugh
Sipping orange blossom breezes
Love is still and sweat remains
A cherished gift unselfish feeling

Oh, Id beg for you
Oh, You know I'd beg for you

Chorus

Interlude

('A' chord played over and over here)

Verse 3:     

She tells me things, I listen well
Drink the wine and save the water
Skin is smooth, I steal a glance
Dragon flies are gliding over

Oh, I'd beg for you
Oh, You know I'd beg for you.

Chorus
