Nothing To Say
Dropped D Tuning: DADGBe
Note: Depending on how heavy you want this to sound, play either single
strings or bar chords.
For example, where I have e||----------|| try playing it like: e||----------||
B||----------|| B||----------||
G||----------|| G||----------||
D||----------|| D||-9-8--12--||
A||----------|| A||-9-8--12--||
D||-9-8--12--|| D||-9-8--12--||
INTRO:
Just pluck the open D string... it should match Chris' vocals when he
calmly repeats "nothing.." Listen to the CD for the rhythm.
e||-----||
B||-----||
G||-----||
D||--0--||
A||-----||
D||-----||
If you want to play the BASS part, play your low D string something like this:
e||---------------------------------||
B||---------------------------------||
G||---------------------------------||
D||---------------------------------||
A||---------------------------------||
D||--0--0-0-3----0-0---0--3--2-2----||
BRIDGE:
e||---------------------------------||
B||---------------------------------||
G||---------------------------------||
D||---------------------------------||
A||---------------------------------||
D||--0--0-0-2~-----0--0-0-5-4~------||
VERSE: Be sure to use a lot of vibrato.
e||--------------------------------------||
B||--11--11-11-9---11-11-11/15-15-12-11--||
G||--------------------------------------||
D||--------------------------------------||
A||--------------------------------------||

| I think it is about being young and you feel (or have been told) that what you say just doesn't matter - you've got nothing to say. Early Soundgarden - Chris has such an amazing voice. | |

| I've listend to this song for a long time, and it at first I thought I understood it. Basically the meaning of the song comes from the line "Big bad word spell it with four letters" That tells you all. At first I figured it meant Fuck. and that the song was just about being vulgar. But going through somethings myself, I thought of something else. Try thinking like this. You say the "Big bad word spell it with four letters" which I think now, is "Love" If you say you love someone to a person who isn't ready, it might be that "My words are out of balance" and if you feel that, then you may habve "Nothing to say" And dying words may be those words of love, burying everday means that each day your love dies a little more, and you begin to bury more and more of your loving "dying" words. Btw, these lyrics are a little off, parts of the song change the words from "you've" to "i've", as in both people are silent. Soundgarden fucking rocks | |
