   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

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

                            Daddy didn't give attention

King Jeremy the          wicked              ruled his world

The chorus goes:

 F               Dm   E   F    A
 Jeremy's spoken   cla-ass  today


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.

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