Artist: Pearl Jam
Song: Given To Fly
Album: Yield
Tabbed by: PID08

This tab is for standard tuning. Mike McCready plays this in Open D tuning, but not everyone has the luxary
to either retune or to have an extra guitar handy. It's not right on the money, but it's as good as I could
get to replicate the sound of Open D..

h = hammer on
s = slide
~ = let ring
