This is a simple rendition of the song Rooster by Alice in Chains that you can play with your acoustic guitar.
If you want to play along with the record or just survive singing the song, remember they play it on a
half-step down tuning (Eb-G#-C#-F#-Bb-Eb).
This is only 4 chords but if you listen to the song you can hear that the F# and A are played with some
variations. You can easily reproduce that playing F# with barre on 2nd, A with barre on 5th and then lifting
your index finger leaving 1st, 2nd and 6th strings open:
F#: 2 4 4 3 2 2 -> open -> 0 4 4 3 0 0
A : 5 7 7 6 5 5 -> open -> 0 7 7 6 0 0
