Immortality Pearl Jam
From: Brad Campbell <br/> <br/> Song: Immortality <br/> Artist: Pearl Jam <br/> Album: Vitalogy <br/> Transcription by: Brad Campbell <br/> <br/> <br/> INTRO: <br/> <br/> Cadd9 <br/> e:---------0-----------| <br/> B:------------3--------|<br/> G:------0--------0-----| <br/> D:---2-----------------| <br/> A:3--------------------|<br/> E:------------------0--|<br/> <br/> This intro is played four times. I've found that if you run an acoustic<br/> guitar through an amp and use some mild distortion, it recreates the sound<br/> on the album pretty well.<br/> <br/> <br/> VERSE: The verse is basically just a cycle of Em and D (--0230). There<br/> is a two-note plucking pattern before the strumming cycle, though, that<br/> goes like this: <br/> <br/> Em D <br/> e:------0--0--| <br/> B:------0--3--| <br/> G:------0--2--| <br/> D:---2--2--0--|<br/> A:------------| <br/> E:0-----------|<br/> <br/> Each of these cycles is one bar [in 4/4 time] and the pick-up is played in<br/> every cycle. I know this might sound confusing, but listen to the song,<br/> and you can hear the two-note plucking. (Note that the D is not a true<br/> D...I just don't know the real name for that chord). Also, when strumming<br/> the D, try to use upstrokes as much as possible because it seems to sound<br/> better that way.<br/> <br/> <br/> CHORUS: <br/> <br/> Pretty simple: <br/> C Em C Em <br/> A truant finds home. A wish to hold on. <br/> C Em A Asus4 A A* A <br/> But there's a trapdoor in the sun. Immortality. <br/> (that little interlude between "sun" and "immortality" is a<br/> little confusing. Here's what the tab looks like):<br/> <br/> <br/> C C C Em A A Asus4 A A* A<br/> e:---0---0----0--0---x---0--|0------0--0--0|------------|<br/> B:---1---1----1--0---x---2--|3------2--0--2|------------|<br/> G:---0---0----0--0---2---2--|2------2--2--2|------------|<br/> D:---2---2----2--2---2---2--|2------2--2--2|------------|<br/> A:---3---3----3--2---0---0--|0------0--0--0|------------|<br/> E:---------------0----------|--------------|------------|<br/> ...trapdoor in the sun immortality<br/> <br/> <br/> DURING THE SOLOS: <br/> <br/> During the short solo, you just repeat the verse pattern. <br/> During the long solo, you repeat the verse pattern, but toward<br/> the end, you double the cycle (i.e.-instead of playing Em/D [two chords]<br/> in one bar, you play Em/D/Em/D [four chords] in one bar). The end of the<br/> long solo section ends on an A. <br/> That's about it. Sorry it seems so confusing. <br/> If you need any clarification, have any comments, flames, etc.<br/> send them to: <br/> Brad Campbell (campbell@galileo.stmarys-ca.edu)<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> ===========<br/> Immortality<br/> by Pearl Jam<br/> from the Vitalogy cd<br/> transcribed by kevin gardner<br/> code@wam.umd.edu<br/> <br/> intro riff<br/> -------0----------------<br/> -----1---3-1------------<br/> ---0--------------------<br/> ------------------------<br/> -3----------------------<br/> ---------------0--------<br/> <br/> verse strum these chords <br/> <br/> -0--0--<br/> -0--3--<br/> -0--2--<br/> -2--0--<br/> -2-----<br/> -0-----<br/> <br/> chorus chords<br/> <br/> C Em<br/> C Em<br/> C Em A<br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
