Pearl Jam (Eddie Vedder) & Corin Tucker - The Golden State (John Doe Cover)
This is my first tab so bear with me :)After looking at videos of Eddie playing it, Ive
that its different to the chords that John Doe uses.
This song is very easy - perfect for beginners.
- based off this live performance.
Little Intro thing: e|---------0-------------|
(It might be played b|---10------10-10-------|
lower on the studio g|------7------7---------|
version, I'm just d|--0-----0--------------| x2
going off the live a|-----------------------|
version) e|-----------------------|
Verse:
Simple chords - add little variations. (D chord during verses- take your 1st finger on
off G string) The chords might not be in exactly the right place but you get the idea.
D B A
You are the hole in my head
D B A
I am the pain in your neck
D B A
You are the lump in my throat
D B A G
I am the aching in your heart
Pre Chorus:
(G) Em
We are tangled
G
We are stolen
Cadd9 (*) A
We are living where things are hidden
(*) - Walkdown bit - dont know the chord name but after playing Cadd9
when it says "things" keep the Cadd9 shape but take your 2nd finger off the A string
put your first finger on the A string on the 2nd fret. it looks like this :
(*)
e|--3
b|--3
g|--0
d|--0
a|--2
E|--x
2nd Verse- Same chords used in 1st verse
You are the something in my eye
I am the shiver down your spine
You are the lick of my lips
I am on the tip of your tongue
2nd Pre-chorus- same chords used in 1st prechorus
We are tangled
We are stolen
We are buried up to our necks in sand
Chorus:
D
We are luck
Em
We are fate
G A
We are the feeling you get in the golden state
D
We are love
Em
We are hate
G A
We are the feeling I get when you walk away
Em G A
Walk Away
(use e string to "walk" up to G 2nd and 3rd fret)
Variation - use your little finger on the 5th fret of the B string when playing A -
it a nice touch.
3rd verse - same as previous verses
You are the dream in my nightmare
I am that falling sensation
You are my needles and pins
I am your hangover morning
Pre-chorus- same as other pre-choruses
Chorus - same again except extra Walk away at the end - after the first walk away dont
A chord after G - go back and play Em, G and then A.
like this:
...when you walk away
Em G
Walk Away
Em G A (*2)
Walk Awaaaay!
*2- after playing the A go up the 14th fret and play for a few strums:
e|--x
b|--15
g|--14
d|--14
a|--x
e|--x
Verse - same as first verse. End on a D (After playing G of course ;) )
