Alice in Chains - Nothin' Song From the album 'Alice in Chains' (1995) Tuning: Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb tabbed by jjhand Thanks to AirForceMetalhe for his tab on UltimateGuitar.com, which gave me a starting point, since there's no youtube videos of AIC playing this. I added the lead parts and it sounds good. Please rate/comment.
