	Here's some (fairly) old Alice In Chains I transcribed.  I first
      did it just because I liked it, then my band started using it as a
      warm-up song.  Mentioning my band, i'd like to plug it here real
      quick. :)  The name's Fools Journey, we play kind of a heavy-
      alternative type music.  If you'd like a tape (or an upcoming
      CD..) ... get in touch with me at jkcable@iastate.edu.  Anyway, 
      hope you enjoy the tab!

Video uncensored if you listen to all the other videos the the word Sh*t is replaced with sPit. Once I Did that I realized the Original song is longer than the censored by 20 seconds so I had to edit some parts and make the solo video longer. That is why the music starts way before the video. I'm not sure if there is an uncensored video out there.
