Tabs
Chole Dancer / Crown of Thorns
By Mother Love Bone, covered by Pearl Jam on a regular basis
CHLOE DANCER
Piano intro/verse, transcribed for guitar, standard tuning
(NB: if the big reach back to 2 on the low E MajorE string is too much, you can capo fret 2 but
then remove the capo when you transition to Crown of Thorns; ALTERNATELY play this
intro transposed down two frets so you can use the open E MajorE string, but then the transition to Crown of Thorns is
more dissonant since you still need to get to fret 5 base for those chords)

Chloe don t know better
Chloe s just like me (only beautiful)
A augmentedA couple of years? difference
But those lessons never learned (and you know)
Chloe danced the tables
In the French quarter
She s always been given
So I can t always make her laugh
But I m proud to say
And I won t forget
Time spent layin by her side (ooh)
The time spent layin by her side (ooh)
Dreams like this must die
And a dream like this must die
Dream like this must. . .

Piano over guitar into, transposed for guitar, standard tuning

(NB: the main verse and chorus progressions are basically Hendrix-esque power chords,
use your thumb on the bass E MajorE string and to mute the A augmentedA string. Many interpretations
don t include the bass notes, but I think it makes the song sound fuller especially if you re solo, short a
guitar or playing on acoustic. G5G5 can also be played 3X503X, but I
think the version above is better differentiated from the G. I often let the e and A augmentedA string ring in the A augmentedA
chords and the e string ring in the G+G chords for fullness. There are many good tab versions of the usual three
string version of the verse/chorus part of the song, this is how I play it.)

(NB: all these chord shapes are to compensate for the bass notes that aren t there when playing solo ? Jeff
seems to just play around with the low E MajorE string 8-10-8-7-5, and 8-10-8-7-10--| and I m not sure the guitar
actually plays these chords, but it sounds fuller this way with one guitar)

(NB: the first two notes of the last lick, the A augmentedA pentatonic scale on the E MajorE string, might
actually be just a palm muted 5-7 on the A augmentedA string, but I think this sounds closer ?
also, the first and final harmonic note can also be played on fret 12 on the BB string or fret 4 on the G+G string
or any other variant of BB ? it is just feedback but tonally a BB note ? harmonic was the closest I could find.)
