I looked here and noticed there were no really good, easy to follow tabs of this song, which is my favorite pearl jam song, so I decided to take the stuff I had learned from other tabs plus my own interpretation and tab the damn thing myself. "Corduroy" pretty much requires two guitars, at least for the bridge and outro, where there are multiple riffs playing, but you can play your favorite of whichever riff is being played, which is what I do. intro |-----------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------| |-----4---4-----4---4-----4---4-----4---4-| |-2-2---2---2-2---2-----2---2-----2---2---| |---------------------0---------3---------| |-----------------------------------------| x 4 there is one other way to play this, but it won't get you the sound of the open note and the 3, which are the sounds produced in the song. verse riff |---------------3-| |---------------3-| |---------------0-| |-10-10-10-10-9-0-| |-10-10-10-10-9-2-| |-8--8--8--8--7-3-| strum the last chord several times and then slide back up to the 8th fret interlude - guitar 1 plays this |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |-44444444444444444444444444444444-| |-22222222222222222222222222222222-| |-----------------0000000033333333-| |----------------------------------| Guitar 2 plays this: |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |-99999999999999992222222255555555-| |-77777777777777770000000033333333-| |----------------------------------| chorus riff |-----------------3-| |-----------------0-| |-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-0-| |-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-0-| |-3-3-3-3-2-2-0-0-2-| |-----------------3-| like the verse riff, strum the last chord a couple times then you can add on the part at the end of the riff that goes: |-0------| |---3----| |------0-| |--------| |--------| |--------| but it is not necessary bridge, guitar 1: |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-| |-22222222222222223333333333333333-| |----------------------------------| bridge, guitar 2 |-2-2-3-2-3-| |-3-3-3-3-3-| |-0-0-0-0-0-| |-----------| |-----------| |-----------| Outro is the main riff, some lead bits, and the implied chords being played.
