Alice in Chains - "Brush Away"
From the "Alice in Chains" 1995 Album
5 String Bass - Bb Eb Ab Db Gb tuning
tabbed by jjhand

This song has nice bass rhythms that give it a spooky sound. 
If you have a standard tuned 5-string, play all 1 fret lower 
than written, since I just wrote this as AIC plays it. 
Please rate/comment.

 My conception, a joke or latest craze?"
