Real Thing Chords
Real Thing by Alice in Chains is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of F#. It uses the chords F#, G and F. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
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!!
