Subject: TAB: OFF HE GOES - Pearl Jam From: jeremy keehn Date: Thu, 29 Aug 1996 14:29:31 -0600 Message-ID: hey all... please don't email responses to me, i will be losing this account shortly... if anyone wants to forward this to OLGA and/or scott minder, cool- i don't care if i get credit or not... i'm sure there'll be lots of corrections since i haven't really gone over it more than once... very few wrong turns on this new album... can't wait for toronto and toledo.. i wanna hear mike, not enough of a fix of him on no code... later :) jeremy OFF HE GOES - Pearl Jam ok, this one's not too tough... basically three chords, though there are some nice variations you can throw in if you want- i added in a G/F-Asus2-Am pattern that can just be left as F-C-Am if you prefer... and instead of playing Fs, you can play Csus4 (11033x)... that sounds pretty good, too.

His face pulled and tense... F C G/F Asus2 Am Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest winds F C F C So I approach with tact... suggest that he should relax F C G/F F But he's always moving much too fast Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Said he'll see me on the flipside... of this trip he's taken for a ride F C F C F C He's been takin'... too much on... off he goes F C G/F Asus2 Am F C with his perfectly un--kept clothes... there he goes ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ --2--2--2--3--2--3--2-----0--2----2--2--2--3--2--3--2- -----------------------3------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ -----2--0-------------------------------2--0---------- --0--------0--0--2----2--3--2--3--2--0--------0--2--0- ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ -----------2--0--------------------------------------- --3--2--0--------0--2--0------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ F C Am F C F C He's yet to come back... but I see his picture F C F C Am F C Doesn't look the same up on the rack... we go way back F Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am I wonder 'bout his insides... it's like his thoughts are too big for his size F C F C F C He's been taken... Where? I don't know... off he goes F C G/F Asus2 Am F C with his perfectly un--kept hope... there he goes [repeat chorus riff] F C F C And now I rub my eyes... for he has returned F C F C G/F Asus2 Am Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned F C For he still smiles... and he's still smiling F C F C G/F Asus2 Am Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit... that has grown F C F C And now he's home and we're laughing F C F C Am Like we always did... my same old... same old friend F C F C Until a quarter to ten... I saw the strain creep in F C F C G/F Asus2 Am He seemed distracted and I know just what is going to hap-pen next F C F C Before his first step... he is off again you can just play around with the end of the song using the notes and chords i've used above... or you can make up your own and crank up the distortion, but it probably won't sound so nice... enjoy :) jeremy
