Corduroy Pearl Jam
Well, I have already in detail tabbed out the original album version of "Corduroy", and
I was fiddling around with my brother's acoustic guitar (and then listening to an
version of "Corduroy" on my computer) I figured out the chords for the acoustic...
Chords:
Em 022000
Asus2 002200
C 032010
B 02444x
Cadd9 032030
Em9 022030
It has the intro of the original:
|-----------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------| |-----4---4-----4---4-----4---4-----4---4-| |-2-2---2---2-2---2-----2---2-----2---2---| |---------------------0---------3---------| |-----------------------------------------|
Then the rest of it is different than the electric version.
The verse progression (played in the same rhythm as the verse riff is played in the
is:
C - B - G (play once through and then start singing part way through G strumming)
[G]The waiting [C]drove [B]me [G]mad
[G]You're finally [C]here and I'm [B]a [G]mess
[G]I take your [C]en[B]trance [G]back
[G]Can't let you [C]roam inside [B]my [G]head
[C]I don't want to [Em]take what [Asus2]you can't [G]give
[C]I would rather [Em]starve than [Asus2]eat your [G]bread
[C]I would rather [Em]run but [Asus2]I can't [G]walk
[C]Guess I'll lie a[Em]lone just [Asus2]like be[G]fore
Interlude - one guitar plays intro riff, the other plays these chords with it
[Em] [Asus2] [C]
|------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------| |-----4--4-----4---4---4---4---4-----4---4-| |-2-2--2---2-2---2---2-------2-----2---2---| |------------------------0-------3---------| |------------------------------------------|
Next verse and chorus exactly the same chords as first ones. Then there is the
verse thingy:
Guitar one plays: D-D-Dsus4-D-Dsus4 ad nauseam, guitar two plays these chords
(played twice through before lyrics start)
[Em9] [-] [Cadd9] [-] [Em9] [-] [Cadd9]
[Cadd9] Every[Em9]thing has chains
[Cadd9] Absol[Em9]utely nothing's chains
[Cadd9]Take my [Em9]hand, not my picture
[Em9]Spilled my [Cadd9]tincture
Regular next chorus and final verse. The outro is just interlude pretty much (with the
and intro riff)
