Cirlce Of Power Soundgarden

Lyrics

  • Song lyrics Punko
Circle of Power
(words by Hiro Yamamoto, music by Kim Thayil)

This is a correction of the one I previously did. I cannot believe I screwed
up so much on the transcriptions. Anyway here it is. The main riff (played
very quickly) of this song is:


E ------------------
B ------------------
GD [------------------]-------------7-7--
A -7--7-7-5-5-------
E ------------------

This opens up the song and appears during the interlude. Blah blah blah
blah blah blah. Anyway, the chords played through are the power chords:

B5, D5, C#5, C5

After that, the main guitar plays:

E -----------------------------------------------------------------
B -----------------------------------------------------------------
G -----------------------------------------------------------------
D -----------------------------------------------------------------
AE [-----------------------------------------------------------------]-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-


That is basically the song. I won~t transcribe the solo because I do not
know it. That slow riff after the solo is just the main riff played slow.
One more thing, not about this transcription, but about another one I did.
THE SONG "SWALLOW MY PRIDE" WAS NOT WRITTEN BY SOUNDGARDEN BUT WAS A COVER
SONG BY GREEN RIVER. I apologize to all the angered Green River fans.
Goodbye for now...

Circle of Power
(words by Hiro Yamamoto, music by Kim Thayil)

This is the song that ends Side A on -Ultramega OK- and it is sung by
Soundgarden~s then bassist, Yamamoto. Quite an interesting song. Anyway,
basically the main riff for this song is:

E --------------------
B --------------------
GD [--------------------]--------------7--7--
A -7--7-5--5-5--------
E --------------------

This opens up the song and appears during the interlude. Blah blah blah
blah blah blah. Anyway, the chords played through are the power chords:

F#5, A5, G#5, G5

These chords are played on the A string, meaning F#5 should be played
on the ninth fret of the guitar and it goes up to A5 on the twelfth, then
going down to G#5 then G5. After that a riff comes that plays the root
note of these chords on the E string like this:

AE [-------------------------------------------------]-2-2-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-


That is basically the song in a nutshell and rest is future.
