Stone Temple Pilots - "Silvergun Superman"
From the "Purple" EP
tabbed by jjhand
Tuning - Drop D (DADGBE)

I have seen this tabbed incorrectly in so many sites (This one lists it as 'Silver Gun Superman').
It is one of the heaviest sounding STP songs ever! The only bad part is how the ending 
apart, but the solo is awesome. My tab is

I believe there is a strat (chorus) and a les paul (verse chords, solo) playing on this track.
