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?
