Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
TABBED BY: Chappo (chap_dogg@hotmail.com)
This is Pearl Jam’s “Betterman”. It’s a great song. I’m not sure how correct this is
but it sounds really good. There are a few parts at the end that I am missing but you
should be able to get it if you listen to the song.
[Verse 1]
e|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|---3---0--------3---0-----------4---0-------4---4---4----|
G|---2-----2------2-----2---------3-----3-------3---3---3--|
D|---------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------|
E|-2----------0h2-------------0h4----------4---------------|
Play that part about 4 times then at the ‘he opens the door..’ part play:
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|--6----6-----------8----8----6----6------8---8---8--|
G|--5--5-------------7--7------5—5-------7---7---7----|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|-5-------------7-----------5---------7--------------|
On the 1st chorus, pick through the chords and on the 2nd chorus strum them
[Chorus]
D A G
She lies and says shes in love with him
D A G
Cant find a better man
D A G
She dreams in colour she dreams in red
D A G
Can’t find a better man
Next is the 2nd verse which is the same as the 1st verse except towards the end where
instead o f pick you strum these 2 chords (timing not shown)
e|-5--------7-|
B|-6--------8-|
G|-5--------7-|
D|-7--------9-|
A|-8-------10-|
E|-5--------7-|
Then there is another chorus then a part that I’m not too sure about
