Indifference Tabs

(ver. 2)
Pearl Jam

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 ....
