Off He Goes  Pearl Jam

ok, this one's not too tough... basically three chords, though there are
some nice variations you can throw in if you want- i added in a
G/F-Asus2-Am pattern that can just be left as F-C-Am if you prefer...
and instead of playing Fs, you can play Csus4 (11033x)... that sounds
pretty good, too.

[F] [C]Know a man..[F]. [C]His face pulled and [Am]tense...
Like he's [F]ri[C]ding on a motorbike... in the [G/F]stron[Asus2]gest [Am]winds
So I ap[F]proach with [C]tact... suggest that [F]he should re[C]lax
But [F]he's always [C]moving [G/F]much too [F]fast
Said he'll see me on the flip[Am]sid[Asus2]e... [Am] of this trip he's taken [Asus2]for a [Am]ride
He's been [F]ta[C]kin'... [F]too much [C]on... [F]off he [C]goes
with his per[F]fect[C]ly [G/F]un--[Asus2]kept [Am]clothes... [F]there he [C]goes

[F] [C] [Am]  
He's [F]yet to come [C]back..[F]. [C]but I see his picture
[F] [C]Doesn't look the [F]same [C]up on the [Am]rack... we [F]go way [C]back
[F]I wonder 'bout his in[Am]sid[Asus2]es... i[Am]t's like his thoughts are too big [Asus2]for his [Am]size
He's been [F]ta[C]ken... Where? [F]I don't [C]know... [F]off he [C]goes
with his per[F]fect[C]ly [G/F]un--[Asus2]kept [Am]hope... [F]there he [C]goes
(repeat chorus riff)
And now I [F]rub my [C]eyes... for he [F]has re[C]turned
[F] [C]Seems my pre[F]concep[C]tions are what [G/F]should have [Asus2]been [Am]burned
For [F]he still [C]smiles... and he's still smiling
[F] [C]Nothing's changed but the sur[F]rounding [C]bullshit... [G/F]that [Asus2]has [Am]grown
[F]And now he's [C]home [F]and we're [C]laughing
[F]Like we always [C]did... [F]my same [C]old... same old [Am]friend
Until a [F]quarter to [C]ten... I saw the [F]strain creep [C]in
[F] [C]He seemed distracted and I [F]know just [C]what is going to [G/F]hap-[Asus2]pen [Am]next
Before his [F]first [C]step... [F]he is off [C]again

 G|-------2-2-0-0-
 D|-----3---3-2-2-

Then the rest of the song is basically just a combination
or F, C and Am chords. A classic "3 chord"-er.
There's also this little bit, or something similar.

Lyrics:Verse
[C]Know a man [F] [C]His face seems [F]pulled and [Am]tense
like hes [F]riding[C] on a [F]motor[C]bike in the [F]stron[C]gest [Am]winds
So I[F] approach with [C]tact[F] suggest [C]he should relax
[Am]but hes always [F]moving [G]much too fa[F]st
(at the end of the verse there is no chord but try C for fun)
Chorus 1
Am Intro picking Am
Said hell see me on the flip side of his trip hes taken for a ride
Intro picking F C F C F C
hes been taken too much on off he goes
with his perfectly [F]un[C]kept [Am]clothes [F]there he [C]goes
Verse 2( same chords as in verse 1 I think)
Hes yet to come back but I see his picture
doesn't look the same up on the rack we go way back
Chorus 2( chords are same as chorus 1)
I wonder bout his insides its like his thoughts are too big for his size
hes been take where? T don't know off he goes
withe his perefectly unkept hope there he goes
and now I rub my eyes for he has returned
seems my preconception are what should have been burned
for he still smiles and hes still strong
nothing's chaned but the surronding bullshit that has grown
And now hes home and were laughing
like we always did my same old same old friend
Until a quarter to ten i see the strain creep in
He seems ditacted and i know just what going to happen next
before his first step he is off again
I havent done the rest because it repeats itself i think.Comments e-mail me at.

I've seen two seperate tabs for the beginning riff of this song...
Both are wrong. Here's the combination of the two plus my corrections:
