I Stay Away by Alice In Chains
(Bass - 2 versions)


From: Steven G. (Dharma77@aol.com)

I'm pretty sure the tuning is "Dropped D" tuning 1/2 a step down
(Db, Ab, Db, Gb)

There is an interlude between the Pre Chorus and The chorus, I think it goes :
G-----7-7-------------7-7- |--------------------------------------------------
