            From: MTLIM@ELECTRICAL.watstar.uwaterloo.ca (Mike Lim)

This is my first posting hopefully not my last

INDIFFERENCE - PEARL JAM (VERSES)
------------

that riff that keeps appears is the following

e-------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------
G------9---7--------------------------------
D--------------9---7------------------------
A----------------------9-10-9---7-----------
E-------------------------------------------

it shows up in different forms through out the song  
the first two time's it is played straight but after that it is played 
with added slides, bends, hammers and pulloff's and a few extra notes
My abilities do not allow me to pick off each one. So improvise!

SONG:   INDIFFERENCE from Vs.
ARTIST: Pearl Jam
TAB BY: Neil Smith (nj2_smit@uwe.ac.uk)

Hi all! I haven't seen any good tab floating around for this one, so
I thought I'd send my version, having finally got post working !!!

Notation: (Please pay attention, 'cos I'm not using brackets () for their
           usual purpose !)

h   - hammer on
p   - pull off
/   - slide up
   - slide down
b   - bend string
(7) - natural harmonic ring (in this case, fret 7)

Here's the main riff. It's for the bass, although no-one can stop you
playing it on guitar :)


-----(5)---------(7)-----
-------(7)---------(7)---
--7-----------5----------
-7-----------5-----------

There, that was easy. Then after the first verse, the guitar plays:

-------------------------------------------------
17---15------------------------------------------
---------16---14---------------------------------
------------------16-17/19--17-------------------
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------

It's either that, or

12---10------------------------------------------
---------12---10---------------------------------
------------------11-12/14---12------------------
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------

I can't tell. Oh well, they sound virtually the same, but the second one's
easier on an acousic. Well it is on _my_ acousitc :)

For the 2nd chorus onwards, I think (listen to the song!), and in various
places later, the bass plays :

----(12)--------(7)---------(5)---------(5)------
------(12)--------(7)---------(7)---------(7)----
--10------5------------7-----------7----------
10----------------------7-----------7------------

The other guitar riff which crops up later is:

---------15-------------------------
17p15-------------17p15-------------
------16-------16-------16-16----16-  Play This
------------------------------------  Part Twice
------------------------------------
------------------------------------

------------------------------------
15---17---19b20b19---15--17---------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
           This plays the second time round. Listen to the record and
           you'll see what I mean.

           ^You can also play this as 14b15b14 on top E.

I think that's just about it.

Some lyrics: (I think ...)

INDIFFERENCE
------------

I will light a match this morning,
So I won't be alone.
Watch as she lies silent,
But soon light will be gone.
Oh, I will stand arms out-stretched,
Pretend I'm free to roam.
Oh, I will make my way through one more day in hell.

How much difference does it make? ...

I will hold the candle
'Til it burns up my arm
Oh, I'll keep taking punches
Until their will grows tired
Oh, I will stare the sun down
Until my eyes go blind
Yeah, I won't change direction and I won't change my mind

How much difference does it make? ...

I'll swallow poison until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out 'til it fills this room

How much difference ...

How much difference does it make?

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Neil ....
