Real Thing by Alice in Chains.  From the album Facelift
(1990)  Lyrics by Layne Staley, music by Jerry Cantrell.
Transcribed by Tim Twohig

Here's most of the TAB for Real thing.  The song has alot
of fills, which I don't have time to write right now.  Also to
save time, I'm only putting each part once and a little outline.
Listen to the song to put it together just right.  Enjoy!!

Intro: Clean                                   Reapeat this part 12 more
times until "Don't Concern..."
---------------------------------------------------l----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------l----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------l----------------------------------------------------
---------------2------0-------------------------l--------------2------0-----------------------------
---------------------------------------------------l----------------------------------------------------
------0--------------------------0-----1-----0--l---------------------------------0----1----0------

Verse : Repeat intro with distortion 7 times, then:
"Even if you say..."

-----------------------------------------------------------l--------------------------------------------

-----5---3---0----------------------------------

---------------------2-B-----0---0------------
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------

Chorus:
Go - ing down...                   Then the chords are full root six barre
chords.  Listen to the
                                           song
---------------2------------------        for the timing.  Each chord I write
below indicates one strum.
---------------2------------------
-----------------------------------       F#   G       G    G   F#         G
  F#    F
-----------------------------------       Repeat beginning verse riff 4
times, then:
-4--------------------------------       F#     G      F#           G
        G    G   F#         G   F#    F
-2--------------------------------       Then repeat beginning verse
                                          riff 4 more times and then go into
                                          this really cool wah wah riff 4
times
                                          and do some dive bombing with
                                          your whammy bar:
With wah:
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
---------------2-----------------0---------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
------0----------------0-----------------0------1------0---

Then do entire verse, chorus, beginning verse riff, and the
the cool wah wah riff three times, ending with this chord (E9)
and some whammy bar action:

----------------------------------
-------------7-------------------
