Okay, I'm not sure if Daughter has been tabbed correctly here, tuning and
all.  And I've seen requests for it in the past few weeks.  I got the
tuning from an interview with Stone Gossard in a guitar mag and the tab
from a guy I met at the beach.  I was jamming on the boardwalk in Ocean
City, MD and this guy came up and asked if I wanted to know "Daughter" and
I said sure, so he showed me...

The tuning is as follows:
Your low E comes up to G.
Your A goes down to the exact same G.
Your D, G, and B strings stay the same.
And your high E goes down to D.

The little intro arpeggio is like this:
D-|-----------0-----|
B-|---------0---0---|
G-|-------0-------0-|  (let ring)
D-|-----7-----------|
G-|---5-------------|
G-|-0---------------|

Then the guitar comes in full force and goes on throughout the verses:
D-|-0-0-0-0-|--0--0--0-0-0--|--0--0--0---0-0-0-|-0-0--0--0--0-0-0-|
B-|-0-0-0-0-|--0--0--0-0-0--|--0--0--0---0-0-0-|-0-0--0--0--0-0-0-|
G-|-0-0-0-0-|--0--0--0-0-0--|--0--0--0---0-0-0-|-0-0--0--0--0-0-0-|
D-|-0-0-0-0-|-/9--7\-0-0-0--|--7-/9--7\--0-0-0-|-0-0-/9--7\-0-0-0-|
G-|-0-0-0-0-|-/7--5\-0-0-0--|--5-/7--5\--0-0-0-|-0-0-/7--5\-0-0-0-|
G-|-0-0-0-0-|--0--0--0-0-0--|--0--0--0---0-0-0-|-0-0--0--0--0-0-0-|

D-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0-|
B-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0-|
G-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0-|
D-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---0-|
G-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---0-|
G-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---0-|


The following is how you play the Em7-Em6 part ("She holds the hand
D-|--0--0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0--0-|           That holds her down...")
B-|--0--0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0--0-|
G-|--0--0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0--0-|
D-|-12-12-12-12-11---12-12-12-12-11-|
G-|--9--9--9--9--9----9--9--9--9--9-|
G-|--0--0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0--0-|

I'm no lead player ("jus' acoustic, man, jus' acoustic") so look elsewhere
for the solo.  Any and all corrections or augmentations welcome...
