Author/Artist: Pearl Jam
Title: Brain Of J
Album: Yield
Transcribed by: Chris Wilson and Evan Cowan (Solo)
Email: yokel@zip.com.au and icowan@marin.k12.ca.us

Chris's Notes : This is the best i could work this song out using SVT
and the studio version.
It is still not a perfect tab, but it is as close as i can get at this time.
Mike is Dropped-D
Stone is Standard
I included Jeff's run in the Chorus to give you a better understanding of it.

Evan's Notes : In the solo, whenever there is a 9br9
that's a double stop quarter step bend.
