Song: Outside
Artist: Aaron Lewis (of Staind)
Album: 1999 Family Values Tour CD
Tabber: Jack (jack@syntax-i.net)

Time for Jack to straighten you guys out.
this is all my own work, so please don't copy, even though
there's not much to copy

I haven't seen one good tab for the acoustic version
of this song, so I might as well put my 2 cents in, since
both versions had some instances of the verses right.

the Intro/Verse goes as follows: 
Note: You can play this with a half-step down tuning, 
it sounds better that way, and is the correct tuning. 
Staind always tunes their guitars a half-step down in most cases

(Please note that there are some instances in the song that it
sounds different from the strumming, however this is what I believe
to be the opening riff.  Since it's live, he may have put an extra note
in there somewhere, who knows with Aaron ;-) But yeah, this is
the way that I play it on most occassions, but the strumming pattern
isn't the stressed issue, it's more or less the muting of the e and E
strings that is key.)

e----x---x-x-x-x--0---0-0-0-0--x---x-x-x-x--x---x-x-x-x--x-x-|
B----0---0-0-0-0--0---0-0-0-0--0---0-0-0-0--0---0-0-0-0--0-0-|
G----9---9-9-9-9--7---7-7-7-7--0---0-0-0-0--0---0-0-0-0--0-0-|
D----9---9-9-9-9--7---7-7-7-7--5---5-5-5-5--7---7-7-7-7--7-7-|
A----7---7-7-7-7--5---5-5-5-5--5---5-5-5-5--7---7-7-7-7--7-7-|
E--0-0---0-0-0-0--x---x-x-x-x--3---3-3-3-3--5---5-5-5-5--5-5-|

Then after Aaron is done singing, there's a pause, or very light 
playing of the last chord, then the chorus is basically strummed
in the following chord sequences:

( E, G, D, Asus2 ) (x2) with varying strumming patterns.

If you don't believe me, download the acoustic performance music video 
(the one from the 1999 Family Values Tour)

Or download the music video and get the unplugged mtv2 dvd.  
You'll see that I am correct, 100%.  If you want me to explain how
the song progresses, or you just want to yell at me because
you think the tab is wrong, then go right on ahead
