Off He Goes Chords

Pearl Jam - Off He Goes
 
Based on Pencom's version but I couldn't play to it at all so I adjusted the timing of chords/lyrics and
added the instrumental bit in the middle :)
 
 
[INTRO]
 
   F         Am

B|-----------1-0-1--|

G|-------2-2-0-0--|

[VERSE]
 
F F C              F F C                      Am
     Know a man...       His face pulled and tense...           
 
          F  C        F    C              F    C     Am
Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest winds        
 
     F     C       C       F   F   F    C
So I approach with tact... suggest that he should relax     
 
    F           C      G/F      F
But he's always moving much too fast  
 
                         Am  Asus2  Am
Said he'll see me on the flipside...    
 
(Repeat 1st intro riff with F chord here, | indicates to match the lyric to the note)
 
F  |    |    |    Am    Asus2  Am
of this trip he's taken for a ride 
 
[CHORUS]
 
F  |    |    |   F   C     F        C     F        C
He's    been     takin'... too much on... there he goes             
 
         F   C       F   C   Am
with his per-fect-ly un-kept clothes... 
 
F        C
there he goes 
 
 
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Use C chord formation for all of this and just move around it

[VERSE]
 
F           C    C          F F C
He's yet to come back...        but I see his picture 
 
F F C               F  F  C            Am
    It doesn't look the same up on the rack...
 
   F  C  C
we go way back 
 
  F  |    |    |   Am     Asus2 Am
I wonder 'bout his insides...
 
     F    |    |   |       Am   Asus2   Am
it's like his thoughts are too big for his size            
 
[CHORUS]
 
F  | | |  F   C            F       C       F      C
He's been taken... Where?  I don't know... off he goes    
 
         F   C       F   C   Am
with his per-fect-ly un-kept hope... 
 
F        C
there he goes  
 
 
[REPEAT SAME INSTRUMENTAL]
 
[VERSE]
 
          F   C   C      F   F  C
And now I rub my eyes... for he has returned 
 
F F C           F  F  C              F          C     Am
    Seems my preconceptions are what should-have  been  burned     
 
    F       C  C                        F  F  C
For he still smiles...         and he's still strong
 
F F C                 F   F   C                       F    C   Am
    Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit... that has grown  
 
[CHORUS AND END VERSE]
 
    F          C       F         C
And now he's home..    and we're laughing 
 
F       C           F         C      F    C   Am
Like we always did... my same old... same old friend         
 
        F     C   C         F   F   C
Until a quarter to ten... I saw the strain creep in 
 
F F C                    F   F   C                        F   C    Am
    He seemed distracted and I know just what is going to hap-pen  next            
 
       F     C   C       F  F  C
Before his first step... he is off again
 
 
[OUTRO]
 
[REPEAT INSTRUMENTAL WITH SOME IMPROV]
 
Ends with four of these:
F F C C

"I think it's close" but the great thing about this track is
the timing of the vocals. Listening is the best way to get it. Enjoy :)
