Title: Don't Follow - Alice in Chains acoustic cover (vocals me, guitar Hank987)

Kind of rough, but it's a work in progress...

Hank was kind enough to do a very nice acoustic guitar backtrack for me. So, no FX, no nothing... all acoustic. First time singing this way.

Lol, nothing eh?
Has anyone heard of the original before? Maybe I'll post up a link to the AIC version of the song...

Cool laid-back AIC cover!!  Your hard work is starting to shine forth! 

It's very hard and challenging to sing and bare your voice and soul over a simple one guitar backing track.

Can you post the lyrics, cuz it's hard to make them out at times?

Thanks...

Here's the 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
Misery so hollow

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 don't know how, yeah
And it hurts to care, I'm going down

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 things I said
Read the page it's cold and dead

Take me home (5x)

Say goodbye Don't follow
