I Stay Away Alice in Chains backing track and tabs

Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)

I tabbed this out on a normal acoustic using standard tuning (but it also sounds great
down 1/2 step) The other tabs for this song were kinda weird sounding. This is pretty
accurate

[Intro]

e|-0h2-2-2-0---3------------------------------|
B|-3---3-3-3---3------------------------------|
G|-2---2-2-2---5-----0-----0------------------|
D|---------0-0-----2-----0-------0-----0-----0|

E|---------0-0---------------5-----5-----5p4-0|

[Verse]

A|-0-------0-0-3---3-3-3-0-2-3-----2-------4-----0-------0|
E|-0-------0-0---------------------------5-----5-----5p4-0|

Yeah hey yeah want to travel south this year
I wo- -ont won't prevent safe passage here

This part sounds kinda wierd acoustically, but this is the closest I could come

G|-0h3p0-------------------|
D|-------0h3p0-------------|
A|-------------0h3p0-------|
E|-------------------3p0-3b|

Why you act crazy
Not an act maybe
So close a lady
Shif- -ty eyes shady

After this, you repeat the intro , then you do the next verse, identical to the first,
but the first part is done only once

Hey, yeah tears that soak a careless heart

Then the second part of the verse is done to these lyrics

Why you act frightened
I am enlightened
Your weakness builds me
So someday you'll see

Then the big powerful sounding chorus. Play it this way. but listen to the song for the
rhythm

[Chorus]

Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)

Artist: Alice In Chains
Album : Jar Of Flies
Song : I Stay Away

Tuning : Written in Standard Flat. Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb, but you can play it standard just fine.

First off, I have taken bits and pieces from other tabs, this is not my work,
except for fixing a few things i noticed. The second guitar is only included
for the solo. For a more complete version, get the power tab one. This just
has all parts of the song for people who want the online version.

Everything played clean except solo.
