Alice In Chains - Breath On A Window chords

Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
Tuning half step down
However, all chords listed are with respect to their position in standard tuning.
Does that make sense? For example, I have E for the first chord.
Technically, it would be an Eb because of the tuning, but the shape is that
of an E in standard tuning...I think anyone that finds this tab should be
able to play the song.

Intro: E

Verse 1:

 E
 Mending fence along the road
 G      D       E
 Barely holding together
 E
 Mapless zone the road signs holed
 G        D        E
 Keep ahead of the weather
 E
 Long past time to close dead eyes
 G      D            E
 Find a break in the highway
 E
 Out here I'm invisible
 G        D       E
 Very few going my way

*Chorus:

 A               E   A              E
 Breath on a window showing tic tac toe 
 A         C     G                     E
 Rear view reflecting there ain't nobody home

Verse 2:

 E
 Ghost town strip of misery
 G       D          E
 I ain't feeling no better
 E
 Road kill heart inside of me
 G      D         E
 Follow it to the letter
 E
 Sundown brings a welcome change
 G      D          E
 Everything that's hiding
 E
 More at home in landscapes strange
 G         D         E
 Are you selling I'm buying

*Chorus:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/a/alice-in-chains/359623.html ]
 A               E   A              E
 Breath on a window showing tic tac toe 
 A         C     G                     E
 Rear view reflecting there ain't nobody home
 A               E    A              E
 Cigarette burn holes outline an old soul
 A           C         G
 Connect the dot scribbling
                   E
 And you would never know 

Bridge?: F#      A  A#  (use power chords)

 F#      A  A#          F#     A  A#
 Failed to head the signal
 F#      A  A#          F#     A  A#
 Thought you got through just in time     (it was hard to line these up
 F#      A  A#          F#     A  A#       exactly with the lyrics...so
 Crashing hard upon your ego               I didn't)
 F#      A  A#          F#     A  A#
 Penetrated from the side

 F#      A  A#

Outro:

 D    F#                    E             Bm
 I'd let you go, but you're always in the way
 D       F#                 C#           E
 I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday

 D    F#                    E             Bm
 I'd love to go, but you're always in the way
 D       F#                 C#            E
 I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday. 

Fade Out: 
D  F#  E   Bm
D  F#  C#  E


* For the first two A chords, you can try power chords and sliding
them up a half step and back twice before playing the E to sound like
the record. The last A you can do one half step slide and then go to
the C.

I figured this out on an acoustic...sometime I have my electric out
I'll work on the outro solo.
