Iron Gland tab by Alice In Chains

• Tuning: Half-step down

Verse riff (this is basically the same riff from the beginning
of Black Sabbath’s Iron Man, hence the name. Bend the low E string behind the nut
and gradually release it)

For the whammy bar part here, start the note with the bar down fully, then bring it up
slightly with each slide, and then bring it up fully and kept on the last note when the song ends
(if any of that made sense)
