Nothingman  (Easy Acoustic Version)

Pearl Jam

Tuning: Whole step down EADGBE -> DGCFAD 
        (1/2 step down works too but is less accurate)

Chords transpose to: 
G = 320033, Em = 022000, D = xx0232, C = x32010 

I've tried to indicate an important chord transition between C and Em, that should be
exaggerated, with > symbols.

Verse 1 (same pattern as intro)

|G                                   Em          |
 Once      divided,                             
|D           Em          C                       |  
nothing left to    sub - tract.
|G                                   Em          |
 Some words when spoken                           
|D           Em          C                       | 
 can't  be   taken       back.
|G                                   Em          |
 Walks on his own       (oh...     ..ohn)    with 
|D           Em          C                       | 
 thoughts he can't help  thinking.
|G                                   Em          |
 Future's   above,                     but in the 
|D           Em          C                       | 
 past   he's slow   and  sinking.
|C                     > Em        > C           |
 Caught a bolt of lightning,           cursed the
|C                     > Em        > C           |
 day he let it go...    (oo..        oo...)
|C                       D                / / // |
                                         (intensify for chorus segue)

Verse 2
-------
|G                Em       |D        Em     C         |
 She once believed in every story he had to tell.
|G                     Em  |D        Em     C         |
 One day she stiffened, and took the other side.
|G              Em        |D           Em            C         |
 Empty stares... from each corner of a shared prison cell.
|G                Em    |D      Em       C        |
 One just escapes, one's left inside the well.
|C                 > Em > C       |C             > Em > C    |
 And he who forgets     ...will be destined to remember...(er..)
