SLUDGE FACTORY
ALICE IN CHAINS

(unplugged version)

I'm sending this tab because it's more complete than the one
thats now in the archive, and because i have nothing to do
right now...

This is the unplugged version of the song. It differs from the
album version only during the choruses, and in length. this on
is about three and a half minutes while the album version is
seven minutes long...
Personnaliy, i think it sounds better unplugged...

I'm pretty sure this tab is correct, because I watched and
rewatched how they played it on the unplugged....

It's in a dropped D tuning, 1/2 step lower.
that would be: Low to high, Db Ab Db Bb Eb.



Intro:
                   not sure about the rhythm

Verse:

just keep on playing the first part of the intro, but not as
hard. Play it smoother... And once in a while (in fact almost
all the time) , strum the D5      chord in a down stroke.

At the end of the verse, it goes like this:
               D5
e:---------------------
B:-------------3-------
G:-------------2-------   and go back to the intro.
D:---1--3--1---0-------
A:---1--1--1---0-------
