Let me run through the complete chord setplus a tab for the small interlude.

E? 022130C7 032310

Repeat these two chords for the intro, verses and slide guitarinterlude.

Chorus is all standard chordsG A CTime to take her home her dizzy head is conscience ladenTime...(etc..etc)Time...G A CTime to wait to long to wait to long to wait to longThen play this a few:

(G5) F7 (F?)(F7)|---3---------1---1-------0---0--||---3---------1---1-------0---0--||---4---------2---2-------2---1--||---5---------1---1-------0---0--||---5---------3---3-------2---2--||---3---------1---1-------0---0--| ..these conversations kill......

That's pretty much it, with the exception of thatsmall interlude. Try it and you'll know where itgoes. The whole thing is based on a barred A chordon the second fret. No challenge here! :)

|----------------------------------------||--------2-3-2------2----2-3-5-3-2-------||--------------2-------------------2-----||-----2----------2----2---------------2--||----------------------------------------||----------------------------------------|

This may not be 100% correct. With the amount of distortionon the chorus I have a hard time picking out whether ornot there is any variance on the A & C chords.

I will tab the slide solos at another time. They are very simple,and if you don't have a slide you can use pretty much anythingsmooth and rounded such as a bottle neck or even a Bic Lighter.I just don't have the time to tab right now.

I've got only the chorus. My bro has the verse part but won't teach me it.

(Go fig!) Anyway, the chorus has a moving G-chord and has an E-chord in theresomewhere...

NOTE: I am not a very good guitar player so all I'll write is the TAB.You'll have to figure out the timing and such.

Time to take her... dizzy head is conscience laden...

Repeat the above progression according to the song...

-------3----------------------------------0---------0--------0-----------3----------------------------------0---------0--------0-----------0----------------------------------3---------1--------1-----------0----------------------------------3---------3--------3-----------2------------0----2-----0----------3---------3--------3-----------3----------------------------------0---------0--------0----

I'm not sure if that's right. I have no guitar in my midst right now, but I'mpretty sure that that';s how it goes for the chorus. I hope this helps.

the verse is E7 C7 being struck a couple of times each and then beingmuted (listen to the cd for timing).

E7 x2213xC7 x3231x

i'm not sure about the bridge but i know it's three chords, it begins with Gmajor and ends in E7. the middle chord is some form of F (maybe F5).

G 320033

Big EmptyStone Temple Pilots

Driving faster in my car

Falling farther from just what we areSmoke a cigarette and lie some moreCause conversations killFalling faster in my car

Time to take her homeHer dizzy head is conscience ladenTime to take a ride that leaves todayNo conversation

Time to take her homeHer dizzy head is conscience ladenTime to wait too long, to wait too longTo wait too long

Too much walking shoes worn thinToo much trippin and my soul's worn thinTime to catch a ride that leaves todayHer name is what it meansToo much walking shoes worn thin

Conversations kill...

And as for the tab/chords...

all I know is that there's a moving G-chord in the chorus part...I don't knowhow it ends though...if anyone does have the tab/chord stuff, post it.
