"Given to Fly" by Pearl Jam >From the album Yield tabbed out by //\\//\\ike Melis Standard tuning Performance notes: Great song but it does sound a little too much like "Going to Califonia" by Led Zep. There are lots of pedals and effects thrown in there. _________ |Guitar 1:| ********* -----------7------------------- -7h8-8-8-8---8----------------- ---0-0-0-0---0---------11-9-7-- ------------------------x-x-x-- ---------------0-/9-9-9-9-7-5-- ------------------------------- -----------7------------------ -7h8-8-8-8---8---------------- ---0-0-0-0---0---------11-7-7- ------------------------x-x-x- ---------------0-/9-9-9-9-5-5- ------------------------------ -5----------5--------- ---5-5-7------5-5-7--- ---------------------- -0----------0-------0- ---------------------- ---------------------- During some of the verses guitar 1 plays this: -----------8-7--- -7h8-8-8-8-8-8-8- ---0-0-0-0------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- Near the end guitar 1 throws in this riff: -7-----------7---8-7-5--- ---8-6-8-6-8---8-------8- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- Then later comes this one: -8-8-8-12-10-8-10-----------7----------- ------------------8-6-8-6-8---8-6-8\3--- --------------------------------------2- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Then song ends on 2 notes played alternately: --------- -2------- --------- X3 (I think) --------- --------- ----3---- There is an additional guitar that plays this during one of the last choruses: ---------- -/5-3-1-5- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ____________________ |Guitar 2 and lyrics:| ******************** G He could have tuned in, tuned in but he tuned out D a bad time, nothing could save him G Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out D he got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles G He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree D The wind rose up, set him down on his knee G A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw D Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now" G Arms wide open with the sea as his floor D Oh, power, oh C C B A G He's... flying... Whole C C B A G F G High... wide... oh G He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share D his keys to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere G But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed D by faceless men, well f***rs, he still stands G He still gives his love, he just gives it away D the love he recieves is the love that is saved G And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky D a human being that was given to fly C C B A G High... flying... oh, oh C C B A G High... flying... oh, oh C C B A G He's... flying... oh, oh
