Rusty Cage Lyrics

Comments: The bass maimly mirrors the guitar riffs here with a
few slight variations. Most of this tune seems to shift between
straight and odd time but I'm not sure. Sometimes I have trouble
finding the "1". But that's Soundgarden for you. Play this with
a pick for that growling and biting sound. The bends are all
just shy of a half-step. I haven´t bothered writing out the
exact number of times that Rhy. Fig 2 is played during the
verse. Just play it a lot. You´ll feel when things head to the
next riff.
Key:

\ = slide down
