THE KILLER IS ME
ALICE IN CHAINS

Alright. 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.
A ????
e:---0---0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0------
B:---2---2--2-2-2--6--6-6-6-6-6-6-6------
G:---2---2--2-2-2--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0------
D:---2---2--2-2-2--5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5------
A:---0---0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0------
E:---------------------------------------

After a couple of times, when the band comes in, the second
guitar plays something like this...
A
e:------0-------------------------(12)--- (), represents
B:-----------2----------------(12)------- harmonics
G:----2----2---2----------(12)-----------
D:--2-----------------(12)---------------
A:---------------------------------------
E:---------------------------------------

Or something like this...
A
e:---------0-----------------------(12)--
B:-------------2---------------(12)------
G:----2------2---2---------(12)----------
D:--2---2--------------(12)--------------
A:---------------------------------------
E:---------------------------------------

I'm not too sure about these parts. I think he improvises most
of the time.
But it's close enough.



Chorus


Guitar 1:
E F#
e:--0-0--0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0---2-2--2-2-2-2---
B:--0-0--0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0---2-2--2-2-2-2---
G:--1-1--1--1-1-1--1-1-1--1-1---3-3--3-3-3-3--- the rythm

G:--------------1----------------------2---------
D:-----2---2------2---2-----4----------3---------
A:---2---2---2------2-----4----4-------0---------
E:-0--------------------2---------2--------------

Verse 2:
Same as the first.

Chorus 2:
Same as the first, except that guitar 2 starts like this:
E
e:------------------------------------------
B:------------------------------------------
G:-----------1---------------------1--------
D:------2------2---2------2---2------2---2--
A:----2---2------2------2---2---2------2----
E:--0-----------------0---------------------


Then play the main riff a couple of times and that's it !
