The bass starts out the song, the guitar comes in when you hear the ooohs from 
layne and the riff, the opening riff , goes like this:

Bm       G
Into the flood again
G                   Bm    G
Same old trip it was back then
Bm          Bm
So I made a big mistake
G             Bm      G
Try to see it once my way

go back to the opening riff and play it once, then move on to the second verse, 
just like the first, different lyrics:


     Drifting bodies Sole desertion       Flying not yet quite the notion
D-----------------------------------2-------------------------------------2-|
A-2h4~2h4~2-2~~~----2h3~2h3~2-2~~~-2--2h4~2h4~2-2~~~------2h4~2h4~2-2~~~-2--|
E-2--~2--~2-3~~~----2--~2--~2-3~~~3---2--~2--~2-3~~~------2--~2--~2-3~~~3---|




Bm       G
Into the flood again
G                   Bm    G
Same old trip it was back then
Bm          Bm
So I made a big mistake
G             Bm      G
Try to see it once my way


go back to the opener riff, then to the third chorus:



Bm       G
Into the flood again
G                   Bm    G
Same old trip it was back then
Bm          Bm
So I made a big mistake
G             Bm      G
Try to see it once my way


now it's on to the bridge and the outro:


D7   Ab      G              E
Am I wrong?  Have I run too far to get home?
D7     Ab     G             E
Have I gone?  Left you here alone.
D7   Ab      G              E
Am I wrong?  Have I run too far to get home?
D7     Ab     G             E
Have I gone?  Left you here alone.


D7  D7  D7     D7    D7
If  I   would, could you?




That's the "bomb track", good tune, I play it out all the time acoustic and with 
the band, get noticed get "chains", alice in chains!
