Ok I take no credit for this song, I'm just simply adding to the archive since there's another version of it, which seems to be a live version - this is the studion version. goes to original transcriber. This is such an underrated song by Pearl Jam. Let's see tab for this also. Author/Artist: Pearl Jam Title: Sleight Of Hand Album: Binaural Transcribed by: Evan Cowan Email: evan@giventowail.com Might be in an alternate tuning (my guess is open-D) Here it is in standard, some of it doesn't sound quite right... -|--------10------------9----------------------------------|------------------| -|-----8-------------5----------------10-------------------|------------------|
