G'day, got a little bored while studying so I figured this out (for the
most part). It should be as correct as I can get it 8)

Title: Jesus Christ Pose
Artist: Soundgarden
Here's a partial tab for one of Soundgarden's heaviest songs!
Notation:
x -muffled string.
> -accent.
Drop D Tuning
Intro- sounds like a pedal low D (more or less in free time!)
I cant remember what the bass plays during the 'power chords and
widdle-widdle-WAH' bit, but i suspect it's just the low D doubling the
power chords. It shouldnt be too hard to figure out 8)
Main verse riff:
G|---------------------------------------------------------| x lots 8)
D|---------------------------------------------------------|

D|-0000800808888-0000800808888-0000600606666-0000600606666-|
Spoken: "Arms held out, in the jesus christ pose"

All of the above are either 10s 12s or 13s, not 1,2, 3 etc
After " - than to bury you - whore!"

two 12's. two 10's.
Outro: same as the other bit I don't know (low D's?) followed by crazy
ad-libbing 8)
Anyway, the skeleton of a kick-arse song is here - listen to it to get the
timing etc. Enjoy!
