Tips

I've listend to the song several times while going over this, and there are not actual chords played, so you sorta have to base it on the points where the bass player and the guitarist come to an agreement- it'll just feel right. I highly suggest listening to Aaron Lewis' live cover of this song, which is currently playing on radio stations (10/15/05). it'll get you another perspective on this song. This version of the tab should be seen as more of an single musician version of the song, and not note for note accurate.

Another note- the vocalist, Eddie Vedder, doesn't always properly announciate his words, so you get things like "whyhy" and "awayayayayay". This makes transcribing his lyrics difficult, and not everyone hears the same thing.

E               A     Asus4 A
Sheets of empty canvas,
          E                   A Asus4 A
untouched sheets of clay
E                      A
Were they spread out before me
       E
as her body once did

E           A     Asus4 A
All five horizons,
          E             A                     Asus4 A
revolved around her soul (as the earth to the sun)
E             A
Now the air I tasted and breathed,
    E
has taken a turn

     C                                   Em
Oooh all I know I taught her was... everything
     C                                  Em
Oooh all I know she gave me all... that she wore
       D
And my bitter hands
        C
Shake beneath the clouds
                 Em
Of what was everything
        D                      C
All the pictures have all been washed in black
             Em
Tatooed everything.

  E      A           Asus4 A
I take a walk outside
       E               A            Asus4 A
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E                A
I can feel their laughter
   E
So what do I say?

    C                                       Em
Ooh and twisted thoughts they spin round my head (I'm spinnin')
         C                              Em
Oooh I'm spinning how quick the sun can drop awayayayayay
           D
And now my bitter hands
       C
cradle broken glass
                 Em
of what was everything
       D                       C
All the pictures said all been washed in black
Em
Tatooed everything
        D
All the love gone bad
          C
turned my world to black
            D
tatooed all I see
         C
All that I am
              Em
All that I'll beeeeee    yeaahheah


(uh-huh  uh-huh  whooh)


  D
I know some day you'll have a beautiful life
  C
I know you'll be a sun,
   Em                  D              C
In somebody elses sky, whyhy, whyhy   whyhy
                            Em
can't it be, can't it be in mine.

whoooh ooh yeahahah

you hear this in the background, first on piano,
then the guitar takes over for about 9 repeats.
vocals take over the pattern after about the 9th 
repeat with "do do do do do-do-do"
