                               Pearl Jam-Getaway
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard

Alright, so the intro is a palm-muted part that goes like this:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------5-5-5-5---------5-5-5-5---------7-7-7-7---5-5-5-------------------|
D|---7-7-7-5-5-5-5---7-7-7-5-5-5-5---7-7-7-7-7-7-7---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------|
A|---7-7-7-3-3-3-3---7-7-7-3-3-3-3---7-7-7-5-5-5-5---3-3-3-5-5-5-5-----------|
E|---5-5-5-----------5-5-5-----------5-5-5-----------------3-3-3-3-----------|
     x x x x x x x   x x x x x x x   x x x x x x x   x x x x x x x

Play that part muted twice, and then as the vocals come in, strum it open twice. Then it
goes to this little part:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------------------------|
D|---3-3-7-5-5--3-3-7-5-5--3-3-7-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------------------------|
A|---3-3-7-5-5--3-3-7-5-5--3-3-7-5-5--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------|
E|---1-1-5-3-3--1-1-5-3-3--1-1-5-3-3-----------------------------------------|

Play that part open twice, then go back to strumming the first part open twice more.
After that, go back to the part listed directly above (the second part) twice, and then the
song hits the chorus for the first time:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
D|---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
A|---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
E|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---------------------------------------------------------|

It plays that part twice. On the second time, hang on the E5 chord for just a bit longer
until it drops out to just the drums and the vocals. At the end of the first line of
that, a guitar comes in with a G5 chord, so be sure to play that. Then it comes back in 
with the main riff for just one time. Then it goes back to that pre-chorus part times two,
and again to the chorus. After the chorus, the guitar does this:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---10-10-8-8-8p6-6--8-8-6-6-6p5-5--8-8-5-5-6--5----------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------7-5-----------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---5p4p2h4--5p4p2h5--7p5p4h7--7-7/9-9/10-12-14-12-10p9-10p9----------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------10-------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

After this, it goes back to the chorus four times instead of two, with the hang on E5
both second times. Then it continues with a cool bend overdub on E, G, A, and high E (15th
fret on B string) respectively. The song ends on an A5 chord.
