Unsealed On a porch a letter sat Then you said i wanna leave it again Once i saw him On a beach of weathered sand And on the sand i wanna leave it again On a weekend wanna wish it all way And they called an i said an i want what i said an i call out again And the reason oughta leave her calm i know I said i know what i wear that a box or the bag Oh yeah can you see them? Out on the porch Ah, but they don't wave I see them Round the front way, yeah And i know and i know I don't wanna stay make me cry I see I don't know there's something else I wanna drum it all away An i said I said i i don't know where there's a box or the bag Oh yeah can you see them? Out on the porch Ah, but they don't wave I see them Round the front way, yeah And i know and i know I don't wanna stay I don't wanna stay I don't wanna stay From: Brad Campbell Yellow Leadbetter: Guitar Solo By: Pearl Jam (Mike McCready) Transcription By: Brad Campbell Symbols: /=slide up \=slide down h=hammer on p=pull off w=whammy bar b=bend [example: 3b(4)=bend the third fret UP to the fourth] [example: b(4)3=release the bend (i.e bend 4th fret DOWN to third)] The bars break corresponding to 4/4 time. I put them in to give people a sense of rhythm for the song. Just keep in mind that every bar has four beats, except the first bar, which is a one beat (two-note) pick-up I did the solo from memory, so there will undoubtedly be some problems. I didn't note every little slide, vibrato, pull-off, or hammer-on, but I tried to note the major ones. Listening to the music while playing will really help. e:------|-----0--0--0--3b(4)--4--|b(4)3--0--2--2--0-------------| B:0--0--|0h2---------------------|-------------------2--0-------| G:------|------------------------|------------------------------| D:------|------------------------|-------------------------4--2-| A:------|------------------------|------------------------------| E:------|------------------------|------------------------------| e:-----------------------------|-------|9--7--9h7----------------------- B:-----------------------------|-------|-----------9--7b(9)--9--b(9)7-5- G:-----------------------------|-------|-------------------------------- D:4h2--2---2h4--2-----2-----2--|5b(6)--|-------------------------------- A:--------4--------4-----4-----|-------|-------------------------------- E:-----------------------------|-------|-------------------------------- Release the 5b(6) slowly throughout the 2nd bar (The end of this staff is supposed to have a bar break) e:------------------|---7-----7h9--------------------| B:5h7--7w5--7h5-----|9-----9-------14-12-14-12-14-12-| G:---------------6--|--------------------------------| D:------------------|--------------------------------| A:------------------|--------------------------------| E:------------------|--------------------------------| Try using hammer-ons and pull-offs to smooth out the "14-12" combinations e:14b(15)b14-12----12h14-12-12-12\0--|------9h7-9--9--7----------------| B:--------------14-------------------|9--9---------------9--7--9h7-----| G:-----------------------------------|------------------------------9--| D:-----------------------------------|---------------------------------| A:-----------------------------------|---------------------------------| E:-----------------------------------|---------------------------------| The "14b(15)b14" means bend and release quickly e:------------------------------|--------------------------7---| B:7------------7h5-----5--7--5--|9b(10)b9--7\5--5h7--5--9-----9| G:---9--6--9~-------6-----------|------------------------------| D:------------------------------|------------------------------| A:------------------------------|------------------------------| E:------------------------------|------------------------------| e:9--7h9p7h9p7h9p7h9p7h9p7h9p|7h9p7h9p7h9\0| B:---------------------------|-------------| G:---------------------------|-------------| D:---------------------------|-------------| A:---------------------------|-------------| E:---------------------------|-------------| The entire song follows this chord progression (Em-B-Bm-A-Em) except for the tail end of the song where the lyrics are "I don't wanna stay.."
