*Play Main Melody 2 times for intro (no lyrics)
*Then play Main Melody with Lyrics:

Hey, I ain't never coming home
Hey, I'll just wander my own road
Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
Say goodbye don't follow


*Play Fill I and Ending I with lyric:
Misery so hollow


*Again play Main Melody 2 times no lyrics and then w/lyrics:

Hey you, you're livin' life full throttle
Hey you, pass me down that bottle, yeah
Hey you, you can't shake me round now
I get so lost and I don't know how

*Play Fill I, but replace Ending I with a D chord:   -2-
                                                     -3-
(with the lyric:)                                    -2-
 And it hurts to care, I'm going down                ---
                                                     ---
                                                     ---

*There's a short pause and then the song alternates between an A chord and 
 D chord till the final outro.  You'll have to listen to the song for the
rhythm--sorry!!  There are hammer-ons for both chords as follows:

        (A)                             (D)
|--0---------------|            |--0>2-------------|
|--0>2-------------|            |--3---------------|
|--2---------------|            |--2---------------|
|--2---------------|            |--0---------------|
|--0---------------|            |--0---------------|
|--0---------------|            |--0---------------|
 
*The lyrics in this section are as follows:
Forgot my woman, lost my friends
Things I'd done and where I've been
Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold
See my face it's growin' old
Scared to death no reason why
Do whatever to get me by
Think about the thing I said
Read the page it's cold and dead

Take me home (5 times then the outro:)

*The outro is simply the Main Melody played ONCE ONLY and then
 play Fill I with the D chord ending to the lyric:
Say goodbye don't follow

From: "J. Darlington" 
Subject: TAB: Don't Follow by Alice in Chains from Jar of Flies

Here is my interpretation, using the two versions currently available as
a starting
point I condensed all the TAB to fit onto one page, so as to avoid
having to swap
pages around.  While in the process I noticed gross errors in both
versions, which
I listened to my CD to correct (mostly in how the lyrics line up with
the changes).
I also fine tuned the lyrics to be as close to possible in written form.

The TAB is in a format that I formulated over the past couple of days. 
I hope
it's easy to work with.  Any comments or suggestions should be E-Mailed
to me at
janman@gte.net.  Here is a quick breakdown of how my particular scheme
works:

Figures that are repeated are TAB'ed only once with a (fig #) over them.
When they come up later the "fig #" are written into the TAB lines.
Chord names are also given under repeated figures, to help, when space
permits.
Repitions are notated under the TAB lines as "x#". ("x2", i.e.)
This means repeat everything between the 2 "|" that the "x#" is on.
Groups of figures are notated as a "pattern" or "pat" similar to "fig"s.
In this file I numbered all the lyrics and placed which lines are sung
in the second (bottom) line under the TAB lines.
