ANIMAL
Pearl Jam - Vs. (1993)
 
 
Standard tuning
 
This is meant to be a “simpler version” and does not include the final solo.
Normally the A5 involves the 7th fret on the A string but that’s not the case for the verse.
The chorus sounds more like a normal A5 (x577xx).
 
[Intro]
Riff 1:
    A5
e|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------| Repeat 4x for intro
D|---------------------7---------| and through the first four
A|---0~--0-0-0-0~--0-0---6-5p0---| lines of the verse
E|---5~--5-5-5-5~--5-5-----------|
 
Before entering the “D5 part” of the verse, the riff changes slightly:
    A5
e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---0~--0-0-0-0~--0-0-6-5p0-------|
E|---5~--5-5-5-5~--5-5-------5/7---|
