LIKE A STONE AUDIOSLAVE WORDS AND MUSIC BY Chris Cornell, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, Brad Wilk TRANSCRIBED BY Jeff Perrin

On the recording, all guitars are tuned up one and one half steps (low to high: G CF Bb D G) and sound in the key of G minor. These parts may alternatively be played in standard tuning (low to high: E A D G B E) with a capo placed at the third fret, in which case all chord shapes and tablature positions are relative to the capo.

The bass part is performed on a 5-string bass in standard tuning (low to high: B E A D G) and sounds as written (key ofG minor).
