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
VERSE:
A
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
Now she comes out the deep
D
With her newly planted seeds and soon you're
A D
Thrown down on your knees and then you'll dig
A D
And then before you know the weeds are obesely overgrown
A D
With all the wild seeds she sows in your sleep
CHORUS:
A C
You gotta know you'll never let her go
A D C
She's a lightning bolt!
A D C
Lightning bolt!
A D C
Lightning bolt!
INTERLUDE (x4):
A C D C
BRIDGE:
A A/G
Always something and never nothing
D/F# F A A/G D/F# F
Isn't that the way we're taught to be...to be
A A/G
Flipping through the worn out pages
D/F# F E
And stages when you knew not who to be
Yeah Yeah
E E E7
Until the lightning strike sets you free
[CHORUS]
VERSE:
A
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
And with no repair in sight
D
There is no god with such might
A
As you open her world wide with such a view
A D
And your death will soon arrive as she finally decides
A
That all her problems, they won't die with you
OUTRO:
A D
