ADHESIVE - Stone Temple Pilots

A augmentedA great song, one of STP's finest, for mine. It's a beautiful song with some really nice
sounding trademark DeLeo chords. It's also hard to find any tabs for.
There are four rhythm parts to the song, as below: verse, pre chorus, chorus and breakdown.
Listen to the song to find out exactly where each part fits and how often to play each
part; it's a pretty straightforward structure.
I'm confident that this is mostly right, it sounds good to my ear, at least.
Here goes:
Intro/Verse (repeat):
There are slight variations of this riff, but the same chords and progression
persist throughout the verses/solo.

That's it! I've tried to tab the timing as best as possible, but as always, listen to
the song to nail it.
Feel free to comment or e-mail with suggestions, praise, insults, etc :)
Enjoy! \m/(^_^)\m/
