********************************************

*This is the hardest part of the song... *

*the guitar plays nothing here, even though*

*you ache to crunch out an Asus2! *

********************************************

Come out into another pre-chorus, chorus, verse, pre-chorus, chorus,

and then outro. Don't step on any mines while playing (even though

it'd be COOL!). Enjoy!

===============================================================================

From: parker_ag@ix.wcc.govt.nz (Adrian Parker)

I just learnt this song yesterday its rough - but as a general acoustic strum

song its great...

verse chords are F# (244322) then Fadd11 (244300), followed with

A(577655) and then Asus9 (577600). Don't quote me on the chord names, and

stress the trebble change.

then there is the "yeah here comes the rooster" bit which goes B (799877) then

D/A (xx4232) then F# (244322) to F#/Em (044300) again stress the treble.

and the whiny wah bit goes as below

G 4 3 4 6 6 4 4 6 4 2 | 4 3 4 6 11\9 11 10 11 11 9 9

D 4 2 x |

A 2 1 2 4 4 2 2 4 2 1 | 2 1 2 4 9\7 9 12 9 9 7 7

E 2 0 0 |

You're gonna have to listen to the lyrics to get timing etc... if I've missed any

_crucial_ parts, mail me and I'll see if I can remember.... terminal is at varsity,

guitar is at home :(

Hope this helps... if you know any Sap or Jar songs - I'd love it if you could

show me them :)

Take care

Adrian

 #There are two hard parts of this song. The first is to get the right
 #tuning--it's what I call the "drop F#" tuning--lower the G string 1/2
 #step to an F#. Whew, that was easy. The other hard part is notated later.
 #
 #In addition, Alice in Chains detunes everything by 1/2 step, so the
 #actual tuning is (low freq to hi freq) Eb, Ab, Db, F, Bb, Eb. But I'm
 #going to pretend were using E, A, D, F#, B, E. Here goes....
 #intro, verse:
 #
 # F#5 A5~Asus2

 #

 Bb-> B 02-0----5--0--0-
 {eot}
 #

 F--> F# 00-0----7--3--3- repeat for duration of intro, 2 verses

 #

 Db-> D 44-4----7--2--2- (Ain't found a way....leads me to nowhere)

 ********************************************
 *This is the hardest part of the song... *
 *the guitar plays nothing here, even though*
 *you ache to crunch out an Asus2! *
 ********************************************
 Come out into another pre-chorus, chorus, verse, pre-chorus, chorus,
 and then outro. Don't step on any mines while playing (even though
 it'd be COOL!). Enjoy!

 From: parker_ag@ix.wcc.govt.nz (Adrian Parker)
 I just learnt this song yesterday its rough - but as a general acoustic strum
 song its great...
 verse chords are F# (244322) then Fadd11 (244300), followed with
 A(577655) and then Asus9 (577600). Don't quote me on the chord names, and
 stress the trebble change.
 then there is the "yeah here comes the rooster" bit which goes B (799877) then
 D/A (xx4232) then F# (244322) to F#/Em (044300) again stress the treble.
 and the whiny wah bit goes as below
 G 4 3 4 6 6 4 4 6 4 2 | 4 3 4 6 11\9 11 10 11 11 9 9
 D 4 2 x |
 A 2 1 2 4 4 2 2 4 2 1 | 2 1 2 4 9\7 9 12 9 9 7 7
 E 2 0 0 |
 You're gonna have to listen to the lyrics to get timing etc... if I've missed any
 _crucial_ parts, mail me and I'll see if I can remember.... terminal is at varsity,
 guitar is at home :(
 Hope this helps... if you know any Sap or Jar songs - I'd love it if you could
 show me them :)
 Take care
 Adrian
