 -------------------------------------------







here is my first attempt at given to fly



the opening part sounds pretty damn close to the albumpar

for some reason it was really easy to figure outpar



here goes



standard tuning



Intro and Verse

E |-------------------------7-------------------------------------

B |------------8---------------8-------------7------------5---3---

G |---------------0---------------0-------------0---------0---0---

D |---------------------------------------------------------------

A |-----0^10----------10---------------8^9-----------9----7---5---

E |---------------------------------------------------------------





E |-------------------------7---------------------------------

B |------------8---------------8-------------7------------3---

G |----------------0--------------0--------------0--------0---

D |-----------------------------------------------------------

A |-----0^10-----------10--------------8^9-----------9----5---

E |-----------------------------------------------------------



                       *

B |--3---------------------3---5-------3---------3---5------

G |-------0-------------------------------------------------

D |-------------------4---------------------4---------------

A |-----------5---------------------------------------------

E |---------------------------------------------------------



that's about all for the intro and verse it just repeats that



right before it gets heavy it plays the part with the * twice



if it seems tough or like it sounds wierd try this,



its based on a really wierd chord that is pretty much just slid up and down



the chords are as follows



E |-----7----6----4----2----

B |-----8----7----5----3----

G |-----0----0----0----0----

D |-----9----8----6----4----

A |----10----9----7----5----

E |-------------------------



verse starts picking up:Guitar comes in strumming D w/ distortion



E |--7-7-7-7-8-7--7-7-7-7-8-7--7-7-7-7-8-7--7-7-7-7-8-7--2-2-2-2-2-2-2|

*instead of the palm mutings before the C chord...you can substitute a B at

the 7th fret...it'll sound a little better but not much different.

He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out

a bad time, nothing could save him

Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out

he got up out of there, ran for hundreds of miles

He made it to the ocean

had a smoke and a tea

The wind rose up, set him down on his knees

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw,

delivered him wings and let him out

Arms wide open with the sea as he's flung

Oh, oh oh... He's flying! Woah!

High! Wide! Oh...

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share

his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere

But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed

by faceless men, the fuckers... 

He still stands.

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away;

the love he recieves is the love that is saved

And sometimes you see a strange spot in the sky

a human being that was given to flyFlying! 

Woah...High! Flying! 

Woah...Flying Woah...Oh Woah...



Given to Fly

by Pearl Jam

words....Vedder

music....McCready

from the album YIELD



18/03/98

Transcribed by    bandit1@eisa.net.au    Clayton Howell





Note from author:

     A piece of music should, as close as possible, be read in a linear

fashion, much the same as you read a book. When transcribing a piece of

music this should always be followed, as it helps the reader when learning

the song.

     I don't mean to offend the previous author, or any other authors, it's

just that I'm tired of getting lost trying to follow TAB that I've received

from the net. So with this transcription I've tried to follow the way that

any other music book or magazine would publish a piece of music.

     This isn't the first transcription of 'Given to Fly' on the net, and

as I have already mentioned that I found it hard to follow, I decided to

send in my own transcription. It differs in that I feel the intro is more

accurate, and I've tried to write the chordal parts as close to the rhythm

on the CD as possible. Although I know it's not totally 100% right.

     I saw PEARL JAM play on their recent tour of Australia, and paid close

attention, through a pair of binoculars, to how Mike McMready played the

intro. From there I began transcribing. I know I'm not totally 100%

correct, and that the whole song is not here, so if you find any mistakes,

please let me know.

ENJOY.
