Bass tabs with lyrics
Here's my first attempt at doing tab, so if you have any problems with
what I've done, e-mail me at pmaslips@umich.edu

Chorus (ad lib this progression, cuz I can't follow exactly what he does)
x4
|------------|---------------|-------------|--------------|
|*-----------|---------------|-------------|-------------*|
|*-----------|---------------|--5-5--5-5-5-|-------------*|
|--0-----0---|--3----3-3-3-3-|-------------|--5-5--5-5-5--|
For the solo, just repeat everything, the only change coming in the
Pre-Chorus. For that you just play E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-| four times with
same rhythm.
That's about it...this tab is hardly perfect, and I know where my errors
are, I just don't know the correct way to play them, but it sounds decent
when you play it. Any corrections would be greatly appreciated, etc.
Nutshell
by Alice in Chains
>From Jar of Flies
Tuning: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb
It basically repeats this over and over again, with little improvUs to it.
x2
|----------7-5-|------------5-|
|--5-5---------|*------------*|
|------7-7-----|*------------*|
|--------------|--------------|
the next part alternates between these two things
|-5-5-5-5--5---| |-7-5----------|
|--------------| or |-----7-5--5---|
|------------7-| |------------7-|
|--------------| |--------------|
You can also play it one octave lower, starting on the third fret of the
E string. I can't decide which I think sounds better, so you decide for
yourself which you'd rather play.

>From Dirt
Tuning: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb
Drums start it, then the guitar, then the bass comes in when the guitar
puts on distortion.
Verse Pre-Chorus

^bend three times
For the solo, play the pre-chorus, the only change being the first three
times you play it, bend the A three times, and on the fourth, hold the
bend as usual.
Well, that's it for now. Any Questions, Comments, etc. just e-mail me at
