ARTIST: Pearl Jam TAB BY: Neil Smith (nj2_smit@uwe.ac.uk)
Hi all! I haven't seen any good tab floating around for this one, so I thought I'd send my version, having finally got post working !!!
Notation: (Please pay attention, 'cos I'm not using brackets () for their usual purpose !)
h - hammer on p - pull off / - slide up \ - slide down b - bend string (7) - natural harmonic ring (in this case, fret 7)
Here's the main riff. It's for the bass, although no-one can stop you playing it on guitar :)
-----(5)---------(7)----- -------(7)---------(7)--- --7-----------5---------- -7-----------5-----------
There, that was easy. Then after the first verse, the guitar plays:
------------------------------------------------- 17---15------------------------------------------ ---------16---14--------------------------------- ------------------16-17/19--17------------------- ------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
It's either that, or
12---10------------------------------------------ ---------12---10--------------------------------- ------------------11-12/14---12------------------ ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
I can't tell. Oh well, they sound virtually the same, but the second one's easier on an acousic. Well it is on _my_ acousitc :)
For the 2nd chorus onwards, I think (listen to the song!), and in various places later, the bass plays :
----(12)--------(7)---------(5)---------(5)------ ------(12)--------(7)---------(7)---------(7)---- --10------\\\5------------7-----------7---------- 10----------------------7-----------7------------
The other guitar riff which crops up later is:
---------15------------------------- 17p15-------------17p15------------- ------16-------16-------16-16----16- Play This ------------------------------------ Part Twice ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------
------------------------------------ 15---17---19b20b19---15--17--------- ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This plays the second time round. Listen to the record and you'll see what I mean.
^You can also play this as 14b15b14 on top E.
I think that's just about it.
Some lyrics: (I think ...)
INDIFFERENCE ------------
I will light a match this morning, So I won't be alone. Watch as she lies silent, But soon light will be gone. Oh, I will stand arms out-stretched, Pretend I'm free to roam. Oh, I will make my way through one more day in hell.
How much difference does it make? ...
I will hold the candle 'Til it burns up my arm Oh, I'll keep taking punches Until their will grows tired Oh, I will stare the sun down Until my eyes go blind Yeah, I won't change direction and I won't change my mind
How much difference does it make? ...
I'll swallow poison until I grow immune I will scream my lungs out 'til it fills this room
How much difference ...
How much difference does it make?
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Neil ....
