"Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains from "Facelift"; Track 2 Tuning: Drop-Db [Down 1/2 step, then drop-D (Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb)] tabbed by alcor666@msn.com w/ help from friends If you email me, then put 'guitar tab' as subject I tabbed this out because the major chords G, D, and A are far too cheery to be the chorus of this song. This is right, trust me.

awesome tab man. rock on.
just a slight correction. you may notice that on the opening riff of the song, it doesn't sound quite like the 5th chord that you've put on here, as it is somewhat dischordant. this is achieved by playing it in standard tuning the same way that you would play a 5th in drop-D, then alternating playing the D note on the 5th fret of the A string
like this:
e|---------------------------
B|---------------------------
G|---------------------------
D|--------------------------- and so on and so forth, throughout
A|-0-x-5-5-x-0-0-x-0-5----5--
E|-0-x-0-0-x-0-0-x-0-0-5h7---
play the intro w/ heavy dist and wah to replicate the sound.
hope this helps. rock on.
just as an afternote, this song is played in standard tuning, 1/2 step down:
Eb
Bb
Gb
Db
Ab
Eb
