Seasons tab by Chris Cornell (Ver. 4)

Guitar Tab 

Tuning: FFCCCF
(E goes up to F, A goes down to F, D goes down to C, G goes up OR down* to C, B goes up to C, e goes up to F)

This is how Chris Cornell recorded Seasons for the Poncier Demo on an acoustic guitar. The verse gets looped
after 1 bar and the second guitar track that kicks in along with the vocals is a copy of the same track. This
only makes sense if we consider that the song is a rather fast 4/4 at 152bpm. Along with the lead guitar,
that makes it three acoustic guitar tracks in this recording.


The song was later released on the Singles soundtrack in 1992. Listen to it here:

He would be playing it live one step down, in EEBBBE, in recent years.
Chris confirming the tuning on Twitter: https://twitter.com/chriscornell/status/746330207347408900
*Regarding the Tweet, those of us who figured out the tuning made the experience that the G string
tends to snap if it is tuned up to C or B. He didn`t specify whether he used an extra light string set on
the guitar. Tune up at your own risk, I prefer to tune it down. It makes no
difference to the sound of the guitar when playing.
