Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything to the archive, and I
noticed this song wasn't there, so I'll give it my best shot. As with
all Alice-in-Chains songs, you must tune down 1/2 step to play this
song. Note: I was too lazy to tune down 1/2 step, so parts of this
(especially Rhy. Fig. 2) aren't totally accurate, but the bass (root)
notes are definitely correct. Here goes:
Rhy. Fig. 1
Gtr. I
Eb----------------|--------3------|---------------|3-------3------|
Bb----------------|----------3----|---------------|--3-------3----|
Gb-----0-----0---0|----0-------0--|----0-----0----|----0-------0--|
Db---0-----0------|--0------------|--0-----0------|---------------|

Eb-6-----5-----4--|3-----3-------3|6--------------|------3-------3|
Gtr. II

Bb-10-(11)--------|(8)------------|---------------|---------------|
Gb----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
Db----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
Ab----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
Eb----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
The (8) is a ghost note. As you're releasing the bend on the 10, lift
up your finger so that the 8 sounds. In a way it's a VERY gentle
pull-off. You can also pick it softly if you want, I guess.

Db----------------|---------------|---------------|0--------------|

Eb----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
The 232 thing is just a triplet, and I wanted to stick to the pattern of
two dashes per eighth note.

That's the whole song. No lyrics, of course. I love posting
