Jerry Cantrell - Solitude
From 'Degradation Trip' album
Tuning - D standard, 2 guitars
Tabbed by jjhand
Nice acoustic number with electric guitar accents to produce a nicely
layered melody. I totally revamped this since the other tab had many
errors. Please rate/comment.

Unclean, defiled, hallucinatory state
Lust, sloth, not my only sins

on a degradation trip...yeah"

Repeat Chorus to End with lyrics (3:34)
"Insanity takes you
So black it's untrue
So black it's untrue..."
