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.
