Alice in Chains’ hauntingly beautiful acoustic track is one of the most emotional songs in grunge history. The simple chords carry incredible weight with Layne Staley’s vocals.

Tip: This song is all about dynamics and emotion. Fingerpick the intro gently, then strum softly. Let the Em chord drone and ring. The sadness comes from the slow, deliberate playing.
