Man In The Box Bass Tab - Alice in Chains






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

Pre-Chorus       Build Up
       to Chorus 
   x3 |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
|------------------|------------------|--------------|---------------|
|*-----------------|-----------------*|*------------*|---------------|
|*-----1-1-2-2-3-3-|-----2-2-1-1-0-0-*|*------------*|---------------|
|--3-3-------------|-3-3--------------|---0-----0-0--|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|

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

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.

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
          x?    x4
|--------------|---------------------|
|*------------*|*-------------------*|
|*------------*|*-------------------*|
|--000---0--0--|--1-1-1-1--0-0--/5--|

Chorus
  x4
|------------------|---------------------|
|*-----------------|--------------------*|
|*-0-0-2-22--------|--------------------*|
|---------2-2-3-33-|--555--777-0----/5--|
                                 ^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.
