E|---------------------------| / Audioslave / I think this song is about Cornell's speculations / Shape of Things To Come / about the future for him and his family. Note the / Revelations / family that he mentions in most of his lyrics on /__________________________/ Revelations. On the dvd that follow with the cd, he says that now that he has become a father, he now writes his lyrics from the view of his family and not himself as a single person anymore, sweet isn't it? Intro: The distorted guitar (in drop-d tuning of course) is overdubed here E|-------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
