"BE YOURSELF" Audioslave

As heard on Out of Exile (INTERSCOPE)

Words by Chris Cornell Music written and arranged by Audioslave Transcribed by Jeff Perrin

All guitars are capoed at the second fret.

All chord shapes and tablature positions are relative to the capo.
All notes and chords sound a major second (one whole step) higher than written (key of B minor).
