Angry Chair
(words & music by Layne Staley)
First of all, like most Alice In Chains songs, this song is in Eb tuning,
meaning tuning the whole guitar one half step down.  This song has
basically two guitar riffs throughout the verse.  One guitar plays:
Eb|-----------------|
Bb|-----------------|
Gb|-----------------|
Db|-----------------|
Ab|------2-----3----|
Eb|--0-----0--------|
This riff is sort of a play off of Eb5 to Eb#5.  The other guitar, I
believe just plays an Eb5 power chord.  The part that goes -what do I
see cross the way, heeyyy....- is:
Eb|---------------------|
Bb|---------------------|
Gb|---------------------|  (the fifth fret is bent)
Db|--3-3-3-3-2--2-------|
Ab|--3-3-3-3-2--2-------|
Eb|--1-1-1-1-0--0--5b---|
The other part to the song, the emotional -I don't mind- part is:
Eb|----------------------------------------------------|
Bb|----------------------------------------------------|
Gb|----------------------------------------------------|
Db|--7--7--9--9-9--4--4--5--5--7--7--9--9-9--2-----2bb-|
Ab|--7--7--9--9-9--4--4--5--5--7--7--9--9-9--2---------|
Eb|--5--5--7--7-7--2--2--3--3--5--5--7--7-7--0---------|
And that is basically it!
