Jerry Depot - Tablature


DICKEYE'BOGGY DEPOT'
Written by Jerry Cantrell
Transcribed by Matt Rouse


Tuning:

1/2 step down


Notes:

Ok, I started with the intention of doing a complete transcription
for this song, but that really got to be a hassle. So, what you have
here is just the basic rhythm work and some of the leads.  If I
don't see an official version published, then maybe I'll sit down
and finish it someday.

You can hear a distinct King's X influence ("Over My Head") in the
opening riff, but the song evolves into something I would only expect
from Jerry.  By the way, did anyone else notice the steel drums
scattered throughout the song?
