Pearl Jam - Letter To The Dead guitar tab

Letter to the dead (Pearl Jam)

tabbed by John Halfpenny (jhalfpenny@excite.com)

This was taken from a bootleg, an EV solo. Excellent track, but I suspect he drops the lyrics in a couple of places, hence the patchiness.

Capo on at fret1, I think the tuning is drop D, if you're familiar with drop D do it, but it's only for the open string at one or two notes, and usually I can't be bothered to tune down. O:?)
