Real Thing by Alice in Chains.  From the album Facelift
(1990)  Lyrics by Layne Staley, music by Jerry Cantrell.
Transcribed by Tim Twohig

Here's most of the TAB for Real thing.  The song has alot
of fills, which I don't have time to write right now.  Also to
save time, I'm only putting each part once and a little outline.
Listen to the song to put it together just right.  Enjoy!!

Intro: Clean                                   Reapeat this part 12 more
times until "Don't Concern..."

"Even if you say..."
