Biography:
Soundgarden is a Seattle rock band who helped to define the sound that came to be called grunge. Despite starting years earlier, and having a sound that more closely resembled Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin than their contemporaries, they are considered one of the "big four" of the '90s Seattle grunge bands, along with Alice In Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
The band was formed in 1984 by Chris Cornell (vocals, and originally drums) and Hiro Yamamoto (bass), to be joined later by Kim Thayil (guitar) and Scott Sundquist (drums).

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 ------------------
G ------------------
D -------------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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
A -----------------------------------------------------------------
E -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...
