JEREMY - Pearl Jam

My apologies for mistakes. No guitar in front of me.


OPening riff is played on twelve string. This is the way I play it on a six
string. (Repeat twice).

The main riff behind the lyrics is always

At home, drawing pictures of mountaintops...

The following chords are arranged for one guitar (If you aren't in a band)

The chorus goes:

Rhythm fill at end of line is:

I----------------14--------I------------14-----------14--I
I--------------------------I-----------------------------I
I--------------------------I-----------------------------I
I--------------------------I-----------------------------I

The chords during the end of the song repeat F--G--A. (Sometimes Am)
I don't know exactly how the solos go at the end, but I could figure it out I
suppose if everyone desired.


The end riff is played on a twelve-string bass, as many people pointed out. Here
it's arranged for a six-string guitar.

I--------------------------I---------------------------I
I---------8-----------7----I---------3-----------5-----I

Repeat the first three the second time through and end with:
