Artist: Alice in Chains
Title: Voices
Album: The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
Tabbed by: Saviden
Looking at the tabs here and watching people play it on YouTube, I found that everyone
wants to use power chords. However if you watch Jerry play it, he plays it all at the
bottom of the
neck, not up in the middle. Based on what people had posted and seeing what Jerry did, I
came up with what I think is how he's playing it, though it may not be 100% accurate.
But give it a
shot and see how it sounds to you.

The vast majority of the song is the following progression, just played at different
tempos or rhythms. It's the same for the intro, verse, and chorus. The only difference is
the the bridge
and part of the outro.
Intro then verse:
D A Em Bsus
E|---2-0--0--0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---|
B|---3-2--0--0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---|
G|---2-2--0--0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---|
D|---0-2--2--4-4---4-4-4-4-4-4---|
A|---0-0--2--2-2---2-2-2-2-2-2---|
E|---0-0--0--2-2---2-2-2-2-2-2---|
When they go into the chorus it's the same progression, they just play each chord for
about 6 strums. You can hear single notes being played along with which I think is one of
them playing
single notes from these chords. I could probably figure it out if I took the time.
D A Em Bsus
E|---2-2-2-2-2-2--0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0----|

Everybody Listen Voices In my head
Everybody Listen Cuz you'll see What mine says
Then go right back into this for 4 measures after the chorus and the same for the verse.
D A Em Bsus
E|---2-0--0--0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---|
B|---3-2--0--0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0---|

E|---0-0--0--2-2---2-2-2-2-2-2---|
The bridge and the outro are the same. Not 100% on this but it's close. I'm only
providing the chord progression here, just listen when to change. Played three and a half
times. When they
get through the first two chords the fourth time around they jump back into the original
chord progression from the very top to finish it off then back into a verse.
Bridge and outro:
G Em Bsus D
E|---3---0---0----2---|
B|---0---0---0----3---|
G|---0---0---0----2---|
D|---0---2---4----0---|
A|---2---2---2----0---|
E|---3---0---2----0---|
