Trouble, as covered by Pearl Jam (originally by Cat Stevens).
Pearl Jam plays this song (at least at the Dead Man Walking Benefit)
one step lower then the Cat Stevens original (e.g. CS played the verseG, D, Am, C; PJ plays it F, C, Gm, A#). I guess it's to fit Eddie's
amazingly rich, deep voice.
Oh, and these are the words as Eddie Vedder sang them at the Dead Man
Walking Benefit, only slightly off from the original. The lyrics are lined up almost
exactly with the chords (well, for the first verse and chorus).
I'm almost positive that this is how it's played, except maybe a note or two.
Any comments or corrections are appreciated though.

I don't want no fight and I haven't got a lot of time
