   JEREMY  -  Pearl Jam

 My apologies for mistakes. No guitar in front of me.


OPening riff is played on twelve string. This is the way I play it on a six
string. (Repeat twice).

  The main riff behind the lyrics is always

               At home, drawing pictures       of mountaintops...

The following chords are arranged for one guitar (If you aren't in a band)

                            Daddy didn't ...
                    A       G/A            D/A

I---0-------0--5H7---0-I--0-------0--------I-------------0--5H7--0--I
I----------------------I-------------------I------------------------I


The chorus goes:

 F               Dm   E   F    A
 Jeremy's spoken   cla-...


Rhythm fill at end of line is:

I----12--------------------I----------------12-----------I
I---------12----------12---I---12h14p12----------12------I
I----------------14--------I------------14-----------14--I
I--------------------------I-----------------------------I
I--------------------------I-----------------------------I
I--------------------------I-----------------------------I

The chords during the end of the song repeat  F--G--A. (Sometimes Am)
I don't know exactly how the solos go at the end, but I could figure it out I
suppose if everyone desired.


The end riff is played on a twelve-string bass, as many people pointed out. Here
it's arranged for a six-string guitar.

I--------------------------I---------------------------I
I---------8-----------7----I---------3-----------5-----I
I-------9----------7-----7-I-------4----------5-----5--I

I-------0----------2-----2-I------0-----------2-----2--I
I--------------------------I---------------------------I
I---0-----------0----------I---0----------0------------I
I--------------------------I---------------------------I


Repeat the first three the second time through and end with:

                         H*      H*
I--------------------------------------I
I-------------1------------------------I
I--------2------------------------12---I
