Where the River Goes
Stone Temple Pilots
Core
Standard Tuning
Tabbed by: chronic_stp

This is my first STP tab I have learned by ear. They are my favorite band and most of
songs have already been tabbed. Most of them have been tabbed by jjhand, and he did a
good job with them. This tab is probably not anywhere near correct but this is how I play it.

Like most songs on the "Core" album, Dean uses a lot of natural harmonics.
He uses them at the end of each bar on the chorus, I just can't figure them
out.

KEY
h=Hammer-on
p=Pull-off
b-Bend
r=Release
~=Vibrato
.=Palm-mute

WHERE THE RIVER GOES - Stone Temple Pilots
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Song: Where the River Goes
Artist: Stone Temple Pilots
Album: Core
Tabbed by: rd93
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

This has bits and pieces from the other tabs with some corrections. Credit for most of
the solos goes to jjhand.

I'm not going to put all the parts in order because that would make a ridiculously large
tab. Just repeat parts when necessary.

Intro Solo:

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-15b17~----------15b17r15-12----------------------------x-xx-14-12----12-|
G|-----------------------------14b16r15b16~---------------x-xx-14-12----12-|

G|-12~------------------------12-14-12-(12)--------------------------------|
D|------------------------/14----------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

These are the two chords that separate different sections of the song:

e|---|---|
B|---|---|
G|---|---|
D|-7-|-8-|
A|-7-|-7-|
E|-5-|-6-|

Insert where necessary.

Intro/Verse/Main Riff:

e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------8~------------8~------------8~-----------------|
G|---------7~------------7~------------7~-----------------|
D|---------6~------------6~------------6~-----------------|
A|---------7~------------7~------------7~-------------4~--|
E|-3b--0---------3b--0---------3b--0---------3~-5~-3~-----|

Chorus 1:

This chord (xx0430) is played with an upstroke. (It's hard to tell if that chord is even right...)

e|-------------------------0~-----------------------------------0~---|
B|-------------------------3~-------------------------------3~--3~---|
G|-------------------------4~-------------------------------4~-------|

Chorus 2:

Bridge (part 1):

This is actually three guitars at once: a distorted one playing the slides on the A
string, one with some sort of effect picking the other notes and a clean one doing fills.
I'm not going to tab that last one; this will be the first two combined. Let all notes ring.

Outro Solo:

This guitar sounds like it could be played down a whole octave, shifted up with an
octave pedal. If you want to transpose everything down an octave and use that, it will
probably sound more like the recording, but this is the way it should sound:
