Hide Your Love Away Guitar Tablature
This is a cover of the Beatles original You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, 
Eddie Vedder played it on acoustic for the movie I Am Sam.

Acoustic
Standard Tuning: EADGBe

The strum pattern is really simple, though the Pearl Jam cover is noticeably
different from the Beatles version.

Here is an example:
--3---3-3-3-3--
--3---3-3-3-3--
--0---0-0-0-0--
--0---0-0-0-0--
--2---2-2-2-2--
--3---3-3-3-3--
Strum down, very brief pause, down up down up, it should all fit into a single beat
(i.e. there are two, 4-beat bars to a line below, EXCEPT every other line of the
verses in which is switches to 5/4 time, but that doesn't really matter, just play
each chord strum pattern within each beat).

Each chord letter above the lyrics should represent a beat in the song, HOWEVER
don't rely on it, it's not perfect. To be more accurate with the strum patterns,
listen to the Pearl Jam version, as well as the Beatles version to get a better
idea of melodic pauses and beats. So here we go, I hope I explained everything
clearly and that you like what I have down. Feel free to contact me (my e-mail
address is written at the bottom, under my name) and tell me what I've forgotten or
what I've done wrong, or even if you want me to clear something up about the tab.
