ALICE IN CHAINS
Song Title: Bleed the Freak
Album: Facelift
Bassist: Michael Starr
Tabbed By: Andy Waugh
Correction
I Forgot to say before, this is in normal key, I know in reality
it's tuned down one half step, so you're gonna have to compensate
for that, sorry. I'll try and do it myself and put it on.
There's a couple of bits I'm not entirely sure about, so if you
have something different then I guess yours maybe right. I didn't
tab the timing cos it's hard to show but you should pick it up
from the CD. Anyway, ENJOY.

Here's the first bit I'm not really sure on, (the rest at least
sounds ok) if you find anything better, let me know. But anyway,
I play the first bit (I don't know how many 7's) the appropriate
amount of times (usually 3), then the last one once, then straight
into the chorus with the second 8.

DODGEY BIT
I know it doesn't sound like it, but believe me this is roughly
what he plays, it's not exact but it's very quiet on 8th fret and
does not follow the guitar. Wait 2 measures, the second is the
growl, then go.

ORDER
Intro, verse, chorus, bridge x3, bridge end, chorus, bridge x3,

And that's my best shot, hope you like it. If it's crap then tell
me at ajwaugh@goodmayes.freeserve.co.uk it's only my 2nd tab so
don't be to harsh.
Bye
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ALICE IN CHAINS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
