Alice in Chains é uma banda dos Estados Unidos formada em 1987 em Seattle, Washington e que, ao lado de Nirvana, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots e Pearl Jam, constitui um dos principais representantes do movimento Grunge, nascido no início da década de 1990 na mesma cidade. No entanto, apesar de pertencer ao movimento grunge, o som da banda tem influência de bandas do heavy metal e hard rock, ao invés do punk, o que a torna única no cenário da região na época.

I really like the weird feel to this song. It's kind of.... you know.... weird. Anyway, i've spent a pretty long time figuring out the little details in this song. But still, there some parts i'm not sure of. Here's my version. like for most AIC songs, guitars must be tuned 1/2 step down. Main Riff.
-- Correction 11/01/2005
Correction (I think !) for J.P.Juneau's version:
His A chord should be:
E:5 B:0 G:6 D:7 A:0 E:
His ???? chord is an F (sus 2?)
E:0 B:6 G:0 D:7 A:8 E:
For the chorus, instead of the E, I would play a G
I don't know if the parts for the other guitars are accurate or not
