No Excuses — Alice In Chains — Jar of Flies

Tabbed By: Ty W. ([email protected])

Tuning: Standard(E,A,D,G)


Ive read other tabs that claim its tuned down a quarter or half—step. 
Those other tabs are great... Ive tried them myself and theyre 
fine. But since Im lazy, I tabbed this song using the standard 
EADG tuning for other lazy people like me as well as beginners. 
It sounds fine. If you don't compare the two side—by—side, you 
wouldn't know the difference.
Also, for those beginners out there... This is an easy song. 
Don't get discouraged if it seems too fast. If you practice it 
for a little bit, you can catch on pretty quickly. =D

Im aware the CHORUS is off, but Im finding it hard to translate 
the quarter—step/half—step variations to standard tuning. 
But if youre playing it with a band in standard tuning, this will do.
Play around with it and maybe youll find some cool variations 
of your own.
