Letter To The Dead Tabs

(ver. 1)
Pearl Jam
Letter to the dead (Pearl Jam)


This was taken from a bootleg, an EV solo. Excellent track, but I suspect he drops the lyrics in a couple of places, hence the patchiness.

Capo on at fret1, I think the tuning is drop D, if you're familiar with drop D do it, but it's only for the open string at one or two notes, and usually I can't be bothered to tune down. O:¬)
