Song: Daughter
Band: Pearl Jam
Album: VS (1993)
Tabbed by: Karl Hermann (blixflamania@hotmail.com)
The tuning is: (drum roll, please)
D
B
G
C
G
E
That's with the lowest string (low E) on the bottom folks.
After that, the chords just kind of fall into place:
G D(6) C(6)add9 C(7)add9
I-----0-----I----0----I----0----I----0----I
I-----0-----I----0----I----1----I---(0)---I
I-----0-----I----4----I----2----I----4----I
I-----2-----I----2----I----0----I----0----I
I-----0-----I----x----I----x----I----x----I
I-----x-----I----x----I----x----I----x----I
Don't call me.............Daughter
During the verses (no pun intended), play the above figure once,
and then again, substituting the G chord for the C(7)add9, (i,e,
the last chord). If you listen VERY closely to the intro, that's
what he's playing. The chorus figure is just as written above, with
some variations (maybe) but not much. The end of the chorus goes:
I----0----I----0----I----0--------I----0----I
I----1----I----0----I----1--------I----0----I
I----2----I----0----I----2--4---2-I----0----I
I----0----I----2----I----0--------I----2----I
I----x----I----0----I----x--------I----0----I
I----x----I----x----I----x--------I----x----I
left will re mi- i- ind me. Don't call me...
Get it? It should be self-explainatory.
And now here is the bridge. I'm pretty sure that this is
easier played with 2 guitars, one in standard tuning, along with the
bass, but I, being the glutton for punishment that I am, have
figured out a way to play it in this tunig.
Em7-Em6
I----x------I
I----3-(2)--I middle finger on 3rd, index finger on 2nd.
I----0------I
I----4------I pinky
I----4------I ring finger
I----0------I
You can always play the bass line too! :
E F#G
I------------2-----I
I---0------2-------I Bottom 2 strings.
But you can also just play the 2nd and 3rd strings (B and G).
The outro is basically the same chords, with the same
bassline, and the weirdly tuned guitar plays this trill thingy:
E F I----4-(5)---I C string
And the normal guitar plays an Em chord up high in the 12
position. Just barre the 12th fret on the top 3 strings. Or you can
play the Em like this.
Normal guitar, top 3 strings:
I----7----I
I----8----I
I----9----I
