Artist: Alice In Chains
Title: Black Gives Way to Blue
Album: Black Gives Way To Blue
Tuning: (low to high) Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb (half step down)
Tabbed by: luckyshot60
None of the tabs on the site were quite accurate or were missing parts so I figured Id
it all in one place.
There are three guitars in the song: Guitar 1 is playing the rhythm part tabbed out,
2 is the lead guitar, and Guitar 3 is playing chords. I didnt specifically put Guitar 3
but the chords it is playing are above Guitar 1s parts.
Credit to K!!LsWITCHs Guitar Pro tab for helping out some with the lead guitar. The
guitar may not be tabbed perfectly (some of the slides may be bends etc.) but all the notes
be there.
This tab doesnt give the timing but just play along with the song and you should get
hang of it! Alright, thats enough rambling, enjoy the tab.
