This is the tab/chords for the actual Chris Cornell solo version of this song, not Audioslave's studio
version.
Chris often plays the Bm and Bmsus2 chords with an F# in the bass. He also varies how he plays the Em7 chord,
from simply lifting off of the 6 string when moving from G to Em7, to putting his second finger on the second
fret of the D string. During the Bridge, listen for when Chris lifts off of the 2nd string when playing Bm
to turn it into Bmsus2. During the first part of the Outro he picks the strings individually on the Bm a bit.

[Verse 1]
Bm D G Em7
Someone falls to pieces sleeping all alone, someone kills the pain
Bm D G Em7
Spinning in the silence, she finally drifts away
Bm D G Em7
Someone gets excited in a chapel yard, catches a bouquet
Bm D G Em7 Em7
Another lays a dozen white roses on a grave
[Chorus]
Bm D G Em7
And To be yourself is all that you can do Heyyy-eeeey
Bm D G Em7
To be yourself is all that you can doooooooooooooooooooooo
Bm D G Em7 (x2)
[Verse 2]
Bm D G Em7
Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
Bm D G Em7
Someone tries to hide himself down inside himself he prays
Bm D G Em7
Someone swears his true love until the end of time, another runs away
Bm D G Em7 Em7
Separate or united, healthy or insaaaaaaaane
[Chorus]
Bm D G Em7
And To be yourself is all that you can do Heyyy-eeeey
Bm D G Em7
To be yourself is all that you can doooooooooooooooooooooo
Bm D G Em7
And To be yourself is all that you can do Heyyy-eeeey
Bm D G Em7
To be yourself is all that you can doooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm sure everything will end up alright

You may win or looooooooooooooooooooooooooose
[Outro]

But to be yourself is all that you can do
