I saw a version of this posted, but 
it seems wrong to me.  This is my 
first
transcription, but i practically 
learned to play the guitar through
transcriptions like these, so I 
think I can handle it.  I gave the 
solo my
best effort, and I think it is 
mostly right, but if there are any
corrections, please let me know.

chords (I pretty much used mostly 
regular major chords, sometimes 
converted
into power chords)

G    355433
B    799877 or -244--

E    022100
D    -577--| 
D#   -688--| 
C    -355--| 

A#   688766

intro/verse riff

D - C - B  (after this, there is a 
3-chord slide up, something like 
C-D-E)

the first verse starts on the third 
line of this progression, like 
this...

Continues after the ad
D - C - B    C D E (-799--)
E                  D             
              Pass the time 
               C
kickin' as the time rips by

G                  B             
           Neither goose nor the 
E
gander fly

G                  B             
             Buy a minute spend 
       E
an hour burnin', burnin'

D                  C             
            Take a peek as the 
    B                   C  D  E 
model earns it, earns it
(-799--)


the other verses start on the first 
line of the progression, rather than
waiting until the third, and scott 
weiland's words hit on the same 
basic
notes.

chorus

the chorus follows this basic 
pattern, with a lot of raking:

D#  D#   (rake)  D#  D#      A#
          so the answer gets harder,
 harder

D#  D#   (rake)   D#  D#          A#
          and the truth's getting 
farther and farther

D#  D#   (rake)   D#  D#       A#
          and the bottle keeps 
churnin' and churnin'

D#  D#   (rake) D#  D#       A#     
         B
          seven caged tigers fly by,
 fly by

the chords played during the bridge 
underneath the solo are a slight 
change
from the verse riff, altered to fit 
the solo.  I'm not exactly sure what
the chord progression is, but just 
fool around with the verse and 
change it
to fit the main notes of the solo 
and it should sound all right.
