Pearl Jam / Ten - Black ------------------------------------------ Tabbed by: Tomas Horsky Date: 3 apr 2000 ------------------------------------------ Intro: All chords in intro are barre chords. Before next chord, you have to gradually move your fingers (except forefinger) out, so for example chord -76454 will become -44444 for a while (but play only -44---). You know, "..." means "repeat chord when necessary". | . . . | . . . | . . . | . . . | . . . | . . . | . . . | . . . | e|-4---------------5---------------4---------2-----9---------------| B|-5---------------5---------------5---------3----10---------------| G|-4-----------(4)-6---------------4---------2-----9-----------(9)-| D|-6---...------4--7---...------5--6--...----4-..-11---...------9--| A|-7------------4--7------------5--7---------5----12------------9--| E|-----------------5-----------------------------------------------| | . . . | . . . | . . . | . . . | . . . | . . . | . . . | . . . | e|-4---------------5---------------4---------------4---------------| B|-5---------------5---------------5---------------5---------------| G|-4-----------(4)-6---------------4---------------4---------------| D|-6---...------4--7---...------5--6--...----------6---------------| A|-7------------4--7------------5--7---------------7---------------| E|-----------------5-----------------------------------------------| Chords: e|-0------0-------0-------0-------0-------2--| B|-0------2-------3-------1-------0-------3--| G|-1------2-------2-------0-------0-------2--| D|-2------2-------2-------2-------2-------0--| A|-2------0-------0-------3-------2----------| E|-0------0-------0---------------0----------| E A Asus4 C Em D [E]Sheets of empty ca[A]nvas [Asus4], [A]untouched [E] sheets of clay [A] [Asus4] [A] Were [E]laid spread out befo[A]re me [Asus4] [A]as her [E] body once did [E]All five hori[A]zons re[Asus4]vo[A]lved a[E]round her soul [A]As the earth to the su[Asus4]n [A] [E]Now the air I ta[A]sted and breathed [Asus4] [A] has [E] taken a turn Oo[C]h, and all I taught her was every[Em]thing Oo[C]h, I know she gave me all that she[Em] wore And now my [D]bitter hands chafe be[C]neath the clouds Of what was every[Em]thing?
