Spoonman by Soundgarden from Superunknown transcribed by Travis Higgins travis@primenet.com http://www.primenet.com/~travis/bass.html This song is pretty tough because it is played fast and there are a LOT of time changes, which Soundgarden loves to do. So listen to the song to get the feel for it, all the parts of the song are here, just listen to it to get the exact order.
