Don't Follow
Jerry Cantrell

Alice in Chains
Jar of Flies
1994
My brother bought this album years ago, and it's really good.
This song was my fave off it, but I never thought it was acoustic
until I listened to it about 4 days ago.  So here it is.  I used
to play it so I was kinda familiar with the tab already.  Enjoy!

LYRICS:
INTRO (play twice) Hey I ain't never coming home Hey I'll just wander my own road Hey I can't meet you here tomorrow Say goodbye don't follow Misery so hollow Hey you you're livin' life full throttle Hey you pass me down that bottle (yeah) Hey you you can't shake me round now I get so lost and don't know how And it hurts to care I'm going down
BRIDGE A D A D (repeats during bridge) Forgot my woman lost my friends Things I'd done and where I've been Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold See my face it's growin' old Scared to death no reason why Do whatever to get me by Think about the things I said Read the page it's cold and dead And take me home Yeah take me home Take me home Take me home yeah A Take me home
