Chords for Adam Levine Covers Chris Cornell’s “Seasons” on the Stern Show (2017)

I like that you're doing a tribute to Chris Cornell and particularly the song Seasons.
Yeah.
This is, I think, one of his best songs.
He wrote this song, you know.
Yeah, no, he wrote the song and it's_ I love_
This is probably my favorite Chris Cornell song.
Right.
I think it was maybe_
Is it all of our favorite Chris Cornell songs?
Some people would say Black Hole Sun or something like that.
Well, that's the best known probably.
But Seasons_ Seasons is_
It was on the soundtrack.
So it was_
That's another thing too.
It was on the soundtrack for Singles, which I think is one of the best soundtracks of all time.
It's an [B] amazing soundtrack.
It's amazing.
It was like the music that was happening at the [Eb] time, you know, and the music that we
all love so much, all that Pearl Jam stuff and a [A] lot of different artists, but also a
lot of old music too.
Like there's some Hendrix on that and some Zeppelin even too, right?
[Abm] Yeah.
I think it's just the best [F] soundtrack ever.
And then Seasons, which really like wasn't a big kind of Chris Cornell song other than
the fact that it was in the movie and at the time it was pretty big, but no one talks about
that song as much.
James, the tuning of this song, what is it?
It's a weird tuning, right?
It's a weird tuning.
It's only two notes.
So it's F, C, C, C, C, F, which is, you know, for guitar players, you know, that's a pretty weird tuning.
So when Chris Cornell wrote this, he had his [Fm] guitar tuned to a weird tuning.
And there's a lot of them too.
So we have three acoustics today.
Yeah.
Now, by the way, we have Sam, Jesse and James on guitars.
They all have acoustic guitars.
Why does this song take three guitars, [D] guys?
Explain this to me since I'm not a guitar player.
Well, the recording, the recording, I think does have three, right?
It is.
Yeah, I think it's all him overdubbing himself.
So we're just recreating the record.
Yeah.
So when he comes, you know, it's a very simple part.
It's very simple.
I say it's not that simple, but there's a lot of different things that make it sound better.
You double certain guitars here, there, you bring things in and out.
So we wanted to be authentic today.
So today we are being authentic.
We're being authentic.
What should we think right now?
We should think about Chris Cornell.
We should think about what a great talent he was.
We should think about the world.
We should think about when he wrote this.
This guy, when I was falling in love with music, he was he was an extraordinary.
One of your influences.
Yes, he was.
All right.
I'm going to shut up now and let you boys do your thing.
I'm not going to jump in on this [Eb] song.
I could, but I won't.
Hey man, do as you feel.
[G] If I do that, you'll [C] stop.
All right.
Do your [Eb] thing, please.
I'm going to think about Chris Cornell.
You got it.
