Alice in Chains is an American rock band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 1987 by guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell and drummer Sean Kinney, who then recruited bassist Mike Starr and lead vocalist Layne Staley. Starr was replaced by Mike Inez in 1993. William DuVall joined the band in 2006 as co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, replacing Staley, who died in 2002. The band took its name from Staley's previous group, the glam metal band Alice N' Chains.

DD/F#G6A7 Hey, I ain't never coming DD/F#G6A7 Home DD/F#G6A7 Hey, I'll just wander my own DD/F#G6A7 road DD/F#G6A7DD/F#G6 Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
CHORUS
In the chorus you basically play A7 normally, then an extension which is G5 and A7 (twice each one) like this:
A7G5A7D Say goodbye don't follow. Misery so hollow
DD/F#G6A7DD/F#G6A7 Hey you, you're livin' life full throttle DD/F#G6A7DD/F#G6A7 Hey you, pass me down that bottle, yeah DD/F#G6A7DD/F#G6 Hey you, you can't shake me round now
A7 I get so lost and don't G5A7 Know how D * And it hurts to care, so I won't now
*that last D is a single strum, letting it fade.
PART 2
Now comes a strum verse where you play A7 and D, but you put your middle finger on and of, making a transition from A7 to A and from Dsus2 to D, like this:
(A7 to A) (Dsus2 to D) e|-----------------------|-0h2--2-2-2--2-2-0-2-2-| B|-2---2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-3----3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-| G|-0h2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-2----2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-| D|-2---2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-0----0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-| A|-0---0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0--|-----------------------| E|-----------------------|-----------------------|
This strum is not complete, it's just so you can get a notion. Try to listen this part of the song to get the rhythm. Nothing too complex.
A Forgot my woman, lost my friends D Things I'd done and where I've been A Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold D See my face it's growin' old
A Scared to death no reason why D Do whatever to get me by A Think about the things I said D Read the page it's cold and dead
A Take me home D Yeah, take me home A Take me home D Take me home, yeah A Take me home
