[Disclaimer:  All basses and guitars tuned as noted.  All chords used are
              power chords (e.g., C# is -x-4-6-6-x-x-) unless otherwise
              indicated.  These fan-authored transcriptions offer the basic
              chords and structure of the songs, and are not complete scores.
              Although some transcriptions may not have distinct parts for

        unchanged, with new, additional drum and guitar tracks.

   main riff:                     fill:

SERPENTIA - half-step down

Gb|---------------------------------|
Db|-7-----7-7-5---5/7---------------|  This is a distorted bass
Ab|-5-----5-5-3---3/5---------------|  doubled by a guitar.
Eb|---------------------------------|

Notes:  Transcribed is the pre-chorus riff, although it is also the same 
        rhythm as the verses.  The verse riff is very low in the mix, using 
        just the root notes; it is accompanied by sampled moans.  The verse 
        riff is indicated by the lower-case notes.

transcription: Ryq

   main riff:
Gb|-------------------------------|
Db|-------------------------------|
Ab|-5-5h7-7-7---7---7-7-----------|

Notes:  The first time the riff is played, the bass leaves off the first 
        D note of the riff.  During the intro and verses, there is an 
        acoustic guitar playing the riff.  The riff is a variation of the 
        original Black Sabbath riff found on PARANOID.  Jerry Cantrell 
        plays various fills and solos throughout.

DON'T BE AFRAID - standard [2000 E-magine re-release only]
===============
transcription: Ryq

Notes:  The instruments are treated with a number of effects.  The section 
        designated "noise" represents the number of measures played without 
        any distinct riffs.  Towards the end of the song, there is a drum 
        (tuned to D) on beats two and four; this is shown in Riff 2.

     riff 1:                riff 2:
   G|-----------------|   G|-----------------|
   D|-----------------|   D|-----0-------0---| <-- tuned drum
   A|-----3-----3-5---|   A|-----3-----3-5---|
