Verse 1 (w/ Riff 1):
Who's got the brain of JFK -
What's it mean to us now?
Oh, it's not distrust,
But I can tell you this is no lie.
Chorus:
C Ab
The whole world will be different soon
Bb
The whole world will be relieved, yeah.

Been around or been stepped on

Verse 3
Verse 4
All right, it's getting late, at this point I'm just doing chords, no
words. I'll put my email address at the end of this, and if I get much
response, I'll make this tab more complete by adding words.
Track 3 (No way)
This one is in dropped D tuning. Just tune the low E down a whole step to
D.
Bm G (for most of the song)
For the "Ooh, let's call an angel" part:
(By the way, this part definitely reminds me of Smashing Pumpkings)

Back to Bm G chorus
Track 4 (Given to Fly)
For the tabs and vocal melody to this song, see Led Zeppelin's Going to
California. :) (Just kidding.)
I'm sure they tune to an open G chord but I was too lazy to retune my
guitar, so I faked it (pretty badly) in standard tuning.
Intro: G (xxx033) with the top note moving 0(H)3-3-3-7-3-3-3
Then same G with the tope note moving 0(H)3-3-3-5-3-3-3 (these
last 4 notes are on the B string, not the E string)
Play this twice.
Then D5 (xx0235) Dsus2 (xx0230) D sus2, and D (xx0232) played
twice.
Play this through the verses as well.
Chorus:
C5 B5 C5 B5 A5 G5
// // // / // // // / / /
Track 5 (Wishlist)
Undoubtedly the simplest song on the record, but what do you expect? Eddie
Vedder is more of a singer than a guitarist.
(Slight Palm Mute)

Stay on F, then:
G F C C
G F C C
G F F, back to verse
Track 6 (Pilate)
I'm getting lazier by the moment. Tab takes a while to type in...
The intro basically uses these four chords...

D-4---2---7---5---
A-5---5---5---5---

Chorus:

Track 7 (Do the Evolution)
This is the most rocking song on the album. It's good to hear Eddie wail
again. He's a good singer but a better screamer.

Chorus:
C B Bb (D) (play the riff over the D)
This progression seems reminiscent of Seek and Destroy by Metallica.
Bridge:
D C B
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh:
D C B Bb
Solo in D minor pentatonic (10th fret box position)
Track 8 (Untitled) - I'm not going to bother right now. The drum beat's
cool though. Draws you in the way WMA's intro drum beat did, but too bad
they didn't use it on a real song.
For those of you DYING to play this, it's two notes. 9th fret and 7th fret
on the G string.
Track 9 (MFC)
Intro:

Verse:

Outro is just over D
Track 11 (In Hiding)
IMHO, the best song on the album.
Intro:
A A Dsus4 D
Verse:
D G G D
Too tired to tab out the pretty Zeppelin-esque sounding interlude.
I definitely will do this in the future, but this is just too much for one
sitting. The chords are basically:
D Cadd9 G/B D
Pre-chorus {The strumming pattern is just like STP. Kind of ironic how PJ
is borrowing from the band which was accused (wrongly, too, I might add) of
being a PJ-clone}:
A G F F
A G F F
A G F F
A G F F

Chorus ("I'm in hiding"):

Solo in F minor pentatonic (13th fret box pattern)
Track 13-2 (Hidden track)
This is a cool Indian sounding tune. I especially like the way they speed
up at the end, like a classical Indian raga. Anyway, I'll tab out a little
bit of it just to tease you guys:
E-8-10(H)11---11-10-8-8(H)10-|-8-------------8---------
