Stone, Mike, and Jeff don't play on the song, but there's going to be a different version of it on the new album, or so I've heard. Neil Young plays guitar on this version, and Brendan O'Brien plays bass. Anyway, it's a great song. Here it is: Intro ----- D D Dm D Dm D ? e:|--2---2----1----2-----1----2----0------------------- B:|--3---3----3----3-----3----3----1------------------- G:|--2---2----2----2-----2----2----2------------------- D:|--0---0----0----0-----0----0----0------------------- A:|--------------------------------------------- E:|--------------------------------------------- This goes on for the begginning of the song, when Eddie sings "My lips are shaking...." On the last time through, strum a C chord taking you into the... Verse ----- This part's easy. Just three chords. EADGBe Bm x24432 F# 244322 G 320022 Chorus ------ Ok, I'm pretty sure this part's right. Four chords: EADGBe D x00232 Am x02210 C x30210 G 320022 And that's it! Here's the order you play everything in: Intro x4 Verse x4 Chorus x2 Intro x2 during guitar solo Intro x2 Verse x4 Chorus x4 Intro x9 Any comments, suggestions, flames, etc?

Release Date : 12-5-95 Tabbed on : 12-5-95 (same day it was released) Transcribed by : Gus Perez 'gperez@gate.net' I heard this song and was instantly addicted to it. From what I've heard this is Pearl Jam (minus Stone/Mike) with Neil Young on the guitars. The song is played in standard tuning, where some parts are played clean and others are played with distortion, some LOUD and some with the volume knob very low. Play around with the chords and you should have it pretty quick, it's kinda improvised around the same chords. INTRO: (Is also played throughout the song as well as the solo) e|--10------10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---8--------| b|--10------10-10-10-10-11-11-10-10-10-10-10-11-11-10-10---8--------| g|o-11------11-11----11-10----11-11-------11-10----11-11---9--9--9-o| d|o-12------12-12----12-12----12-12-------12-12----12-12--10-10-10-o| a|------------------------------------------------------------------| e|------------------------------------------------------------------| PRE-CHORUS: (Loud powerchords with a'la Neil Young distortion) B F# G x x x x x x x x x 9 4 5 9 4 5 7 2 3 CHORUS: (I believe it's two guitars, Guitar 1 plays the power chords, and Guitar 2 plays the open chord arpeggio's) Guitar 1: Plays the power chords in this order: D A C G x x x x x x x x 7 x x x 7 7 10 5 5 7 10 5 x 5 8 3 Guitar 2: Plays the open chords in this order: D Am C G 2 0 0 3 3 1 1 3 2 2 0 0 0 2 2 0 x 0 3 2 x x x 3 SOLO: You pretty much play the intro over and over again, but you emphasize the key notes, improvise it it's not hard at all... ------ If you have any comments or corrections, email me at gperez@gate.net. I will get back to you as soon as possible. ------ These are the lyrics (or an approximation) that I got off of the newsgroups. This was not written by me, it was written by me but by Kelly Martinez, I'd like to take the time to thank Kelly, cause I for sure can't figure out the lyrics...(LAKH73A@prodigy.com) ------ I GOT SHIT (Merkin Ball) My lips are shakin' My nails are bit off Been a month since I've heard myself talk Only advantage this life's got on me Picture a cup in the middle of the sea And I fought back in my mind... Never lets me be right... I got memories I got shit So much it don't show it... Oh, I walked the line... When you held me in the night Oh, I walked the line... When you held my hand and cried On empty shells seem so easy to grab Got all these questions, don't know who I could even ask So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream That I'm not ugly and your lookin' at me And I sent you to bed... Oh, in a little while I'll see now If just once I could feel love... Oh, stare back at me. Oh, I walked the line... When you held me in the night Oh, I walked the line... When you held my hand at night Oh, I walked the line.... When you held me close at night. I paid the price... Never held you in the right My lips are shakin.......
