SONG:  BETTERMAN
ARTIST: Pearl Jam
TAB BY: Neil Smith ([email protected])

Main Riff:


                      This note is played
                     in the intro, but I'm
                    not sure about the verse.

                           ^^^
               This note is not played in the
               intro, but is present when Vedder
               is singing the verses.

Bridge: (He opens the door ...)

The second time (or on the live version) you may want to strum those
chords, thus:

-5--------7-
-7--------9-
-8-------10-
-5--------7-

Chorus: (If my chord names are wrong, sorry, I never did theory) :-(

(This part given double time so I can fit some lyrics in)

And everything else is just a repeat of those bits, I think.

Hope that's OK. Cheers ...
