Yellow Ledbetter Guitar Tablature
DEADTABS

This is the way I play Yellow Ledbetter (Pearl Jam).
This is the intro. The rest of the song is pretty
much the same with slight variations (I think) besides
the lead solo. I will tab that next.

This is my version of the solo. I didn't space it for 
timing so you'll just have to listen to the song. 
I know it's not exactly perfect but it is the 
best I could do just by listening.

After the solo I think it goes something like this.

Do that twice then just go back to the intro riff and 
add these harmonics to the end of it.
