 FROGS 
 ALICE IN CHAINS 
  
 (unplugged version) 
  
 	OK, this song took me a pretty long time to figure out. And 
 i'm not even sure that it's completely right.  
 But i think you get the basic idea of the song. 
  
 Eb tuning: down half a step. 
  
  
 Main riff: 
 e:---------------------------------------- 
 B:---------------------------------------- 
 G:----------------------------------------  played over and 
 D:------5------5------5------5----5----5--  over... 
 A:----4------4------4------4-------------- 
 E:--0------0------0------0------4----3---- 
  
  
 Verse: 
  
 While one of the guitars continues playing the main riff, the 
 other one plays this: 
 e:--------------------------------------- 
 B:---------------5--------7-------(7)---- 
 G:----6b-r-b----------------5------------  X4 
 D:--------------------------------------- 
 A:--------------------------------------- 
 E:--0---------0-----0----------0--------- 
      what    does friend mean to   you... 
  
  
 At the end of the verse it changes to this: 
 e:---------------------------------------------------- 
 B:---------------------------------------------------- 
 G:---------------------------------------------------- 
 D:------5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5--- 
 A:----5-----4-----5-----4-----5-----4-----5-----4----- 
 E:--3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3------- 
  
  
 Then go back to the main riff and then comes the second verse 
 which is identical to the first. 
  
  
 Chorus: 
     G#5       A#5  C 
 e:-----------------0--0-0-0-0-- 
 B:-----------------1--1-1-1-1-- 
 G:-----------------0--0-0-0-0-- 
 D:--6-6-6-6-6--8---2--2-2-2-2-- 
 A:--6-6-6-6-6--8---3--3-3-3-3-- 
 E:--4-4-4-4-4--6---0--0-0-0-0-- 
  
     G#5        A#5  C 
 e:------------------0--0-0-0-0-- 
 B:------------------1--1-1-1-1-- 
 G:------------------0--0-0-0-0--  X6 
 D:--6-6-6-6-6---8---2--2-2-2-2-- 
 A:--6-6-6-6-6---8---3--3-3-3-3-- 
 E:--4-4-4-4-4---6---0--0-0-0-0-- 
    why's it got to  be this way....... 
  
 The chorus ends like this: 
     G#5       A#5  Bm 
 e:-----------------2--- 
 B:-----------------3--- 
 G:-----------------4--- 
 D:--6-6-6-6-6--8---4--- 
 A:--6-6-6-6-6--8---2--- 
 E:--4-4-4-4-4--6------- 
  
  
  
 After a couple of times, guitar two plays something like this ( 
 I'm not too sure about this part, i've listened and relistened 
 to the cd but i just can't seem to really get it). But it's 
 close enough. 
  
 e:-------------3------9b-r-9-7---------7---- 
 B:-----------3---3-------------7-----7---7-- 
 G:------5-3--------------------------------- 
 D:----5------------------------------------- 
 A:--3--------------------------------------- 
 E:------------------------------------------ 
  
 e:-------------3------9b-r--7--9b-- 
 B:-----------3---3----------------- 
 G:------5-3------------------------ 
 D:----5---------------------------- 
 A:--3------------------------------ 
 E:--------------------------------- 
  
   
 Verse. 
  
 Chorus. 
  
 Then comes this weird part where layne starts talking. 
 One of the guitars keeps on playing the main riff and the 
 second one just fiddles around with the harmonics on the 12th 
 and 15th fret i think... 
  
  
 LYRICS 
 What does friend mean to you? 
 Aword so wrongfuly abused 
 Are like me confused? 
 All included but you? 
  
 Alone... 
  
 The sounds of silence often soothe 
 Shapes and colours shift with mood 
 Pupils widen and change their hue 
 Rapid brown avoid clear blue 
  
 Why's it have to be this way 
 be this way (X5) 
  
 Flowers watched through wide brown eyes 
 A child sings an unclaimed tune 
 Innocence spins cold cocoon 
 Grow to see the pain too soon 
  
 (chorus) 
  
 7 am...on a tuesday...in august......Next week i turn 28...I'm 
 still young... it'll keep me off the wall...i scream you....I 
 got away.... 
 show you're afraid(???).....that's my fate.....my fate.....my 
 fate... 
 Never fuck with me again.....don't fuck with me 
 again....?????.....????? 
  
  
 	 
  
 Well thats what i've got for this song. If anybody happens to 
 know Jerry Cantrell, please correct any mistakes I made.... 
 Thanx

 Well-that's the basic rythm part-all I've had time to figure out so far.

 Frogs by Alice in Chains 
  
 This is tuned down a half step just like any other Alice in Chains song.  It 
 Basically has three parts.   
  
 First part...the verse: 
 e|------------------------------| 
 b|------------------------------| 
 g|------------------------------| 
 d|----5----5----5----5--5-5| 
 a|--4----4----4----4---------| 
 e|0----0----0----0----4--3-| 
 that repeats over and over. 
  
 The next part is the pre-chorus type thing 
 e|---------------------------| 
 b|---------------------------| 
 g|---------------------------| 
 d|----5------------5-------| 
 a|--5--5--------5---5-----| 
 e|3------3-4-3-------3-4| 
 you get the Idea. 
  
 next is the Chorus type thing: 
 e|444446-8--| 
 b|444446-8--| 
 g|555557-9--| 
 d|666668-10| 
 a|666668-10| 
 e|444446-8--| 
 It repeats that for a while. 
  
 that's it....pretty easy.  E-mail me at xGxOxDx@aol.com to give criticism, to 
 praise my work, or to say what's up.
