Subject: Rooster by Alice in Chains


"Rooster," by Alice in Chains (written by Jerry Cantrell)
Tablature approximated to best of ability by Rob Goggins
(rob@praline.nrlssc.navy.mil)

There are two hard parts of this song. The first is to get the right 
tuning--it's what I call the "drop F#" tuning--lower the G string 1/2
step to an F#. Whew, that was easy. The other hard part is notated later.

In addition, Alice in Chains detunes everything by 1/2 step, so the 
actual tuning is (low freq to hi freq) Eb, Ab, Db, F, Bb, Eb. But I'm
going to pretend were using E, A, D, F#, B, E.  Here goes....


intro, verse:

        F#5     A5~Asus2
Eb-> E  02-0----5--0--0-
Bb-> B  02-0----5--0--0-
F--> F# 00-0----7--3--3-   repeat for duration of intro, 2 verses
Db-> D  44-4----7--2--2-   (Ain't found a way....leads me to nowhere)
Ab-> A  44-4----0--0--0-
Eb-> E  02-0----|-------

pre-chorus:

B       Asus2   F#5             B      Asus2    
|-------0-------02-0----|-------|-------0-------
0-------0-------02-0----|-------0-------0-------
0-------3-------00-0----|-------0-------3-------
4-------2-------44-4----|-------4-------2-------
2-------0-------44-4----|-------2-------0-------
|-------|-------02-0----|-------|-------|-------
Here they come...               Yeah, here comes the Rooster...


chorus:

F#5     Asus2   F#5
02-0----0-------|--0----
02-0----0-------|--0----
00-0----3-------|--0---- repeated several times 
44-4----2-------|--4----
44-4----0---4320|--4----
02-0----|-------0--0----
   ^    ^          ^
   |    |          |
   |    CRUNCH!    OBCRUNCH!
   CRUNCH!
        You know he ain't gonna die...


"interlude riff":

F#5     E       F#5     Asus2
|-------|-------|-------|-------
|-------|-------|-------|-------
|-------|-------|-------|------- repeat 2 more times
|-------|-------|-------|-------
2124----4--2--4-1-------|-------
2--2----0-------|20-----|-------
                        ^
                        |
                       ********************************************
                       *This is the hardest part of the song...   *
                       *the guitar plays nothing here, even though*
                       *you ache to crunch out an Asus2!          *
                       ********************************************

Come out into another pre-chorus, chorus, verse, pre-chorus, chorus,
and then outro. Don't step on any mines while playing (even though
it'd be COOL!).


enjoy

Here is the correct way to play this excellent song.  The other version is
terribly wrong.  You don't need any crazy alternate tunings besides the usual
1/2 step down.

Okay, here is the CORRECT way to play Rooster by Alice in Chains:


(As always, tune down 1/2 step!)

Intro:
     =

Guitar 1 (clean w/ chorus)     =


     F#  F#7add4         A   Aadd2

e----2-2-0---0-0-0-0--|--5-5-0---0-0-0-0-----

G----3-3-3---3-3-3-3--|--6-6-6---6-6-6-6-----
D----4-4-4---4-4-4-4--|--7-7-7---7-7-7-7-----   (Repeat a couple of times=
)
A----4-4-4---4-4-4-4--|--7-7-7---7-7-7-7-----
E----2-2-2---2-2-2-2--|--5-5-5---5-5-5-5-----


1st verse:

Guitar 1 repeats intro

Guitar 2 (w/ dist. & envelope filter) plays:
