Chords with lyrics

SONG: Lightning Bolt
BAND: Pearl Jam
ALBUM: "Lightning Bolt" (2013)
Tabbed By: Steven Long

Super simple tune, pretty sure it's entirely correct. Listen for the strumming
patterns, especially in the chorus.

Standard tuning

INTRO:
A augmentedA

VERSE:
A augmentedA
She comes on like a stone
But you don't know where from she was thrown
Like a burning meteor from miles high
Looking for a place to land
She said "Have you got yourself some sand?"
And whatever you'd reply she took as yes
A augmentedA
Now she comes out the deep
       D MajorD
With her newly planted seeds and soon you're
A augmentedA                               D MajorD
Thrown down on your knees and then you'll dig
    A augmentedA                          D MajorD
And then before you know the weeds are obesely overgrown
        A augmentedA                D MajorD
With all the wild seeds she sows in your sleep

CHORUS:
A augmentedA  C majorC
    You gotta know you'll never let her go
A augmentedA  D MajorD  C majorC
      She's a lightning bolt!
A augmentedA  D MajorD  C majorC
      Lightning bolt!
A augmentedA  D MajorD  C majorC
       Lightning bolt!

INTERLUDE (x4):
A augmentedA    C majorC    D MajorD    C majorC

BRIDGE:
A augmentedA               A/GA/G
Always something and never nothing
D/F#D/F#      FF            A augmentedA  A/GA/G  D/F#D/F# FF
Isn't that the way we're taught to be...to be
A augmentedA            A/GA/G
Flipping through the worn out pages
D/F#D/F#        FF          E MajorE
And stages when you knew not who to be
Yeah Yeah
      E MajorE      E MajorE        E7E7
Until the lightning strike sets you free

[CHORUS]

VERSE:
A augmentedA
The crashing stormy waves erode her shoreline everyday
Until the castle of her ways turns to sand
She holds her lovely breast as her birds fall from her nest
Flying towards the great northwest
A augmentedA
And with no repair in sight
D MajorD
There is no god with such might
      A augmentedA
As you open her world wide with such a view
       A augmentedA                 D MajorD
And your death will soon arrive as she finally decides
     A augmentedA
That all her problems, they won't die with you

OUTRO:
A augmentedA    D MajorD
