Song: Queen Of The Rodeo
Location: Chained To The Studio, Heroin, Working Class Heros

Notes: This is a transcription of the studio version found only on 
       various bootleg CDs.  The version included on Music Bank is 
       live and doesn't feature the nice lead guitar.  I recently 
       discovered that this song dates back to the glam days, before 
       Jerry Cantrell was in the band.  I heard this performed on a 
       concert tape from 1986!  I assume the lead guitar was something 
       Jerry added to the song in the studio, as I've never heard this
       played live with two guitars.

       Gtr.1 is a brittle sounding six string electric with a chorus 
       effect.  The struming pattern is pretty simple, but to 
       get it right you'll need to listen to the song or the rhythm 
       probably won't sound the same.
