Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart (mandolin) tab by Chris Cornell

Guitar tabs with lyrics

• Tuning: Standard tuning

Off of the 2015 album Higher Truth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpMfZPAc1kg
The mandolin licks throughout the entire song use a technique called alternate picking;
meaning every downstroke is followed by an upstroke and vice versa. So every open AA
string on the mandolin and is played on an upstroke.
