ANIMAL.TAB



From Pearl Jam's recording "Vs."





    ______  ===___   ________  ==========

D:-----------------------------7-----(^^)--|

A:--------------------------------6--5--0--|

E:--5----5----5--5-----5----5--------------|



  This is how the main riff goes.  PO is a pull-off, and the rhythm is

  very weakly shown above the bar.  As far as the second part of the

  verse goes, just hit a D Chord a couple of times like so:



e:-----------|

B:-----7-----|

G:-----7-----|

D:-----7-----|

A:-----5-----|

E:-----------|





And then for the chorus.  Each one of these chords is a measure, and you can

strum them at will.  Listen to the record for the correct feel.

As far as the solo goes.... it's in A with a lot of Wah...  I don't feel

 like taking the time to transcribe it.  Although I recommend you just

 kind of find the right key and play it.  That's usually the way I do with

 my band.  Just know what key you're in and sort of jam, remembering the

 overall thematic things.  Have fun with this.  If you need any help or

 any other songs transcribed, let me know...
