<< Back to Pearl Jam Song List
Version 1 Version 2
This is about as close as I can get to playing Daughter in standard tuning
The main riff uses G and A. Probably best to listen to the song for the pattern
[Verse]
G A G A G A G A G
alone... listless... breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
A G A G A G A
young girl... violins... center of her own attention
G A G A G
mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it
A G A
tries to make her proud
For this Pre-Chorus bit,you play:
E|--0--0-0-0--0-0-0-0-|
B|--3--3-3-3--2-2-2-2-|
G|--0--0-0-0--0-0-0-0-|
D|--2--2-2-2--2-2-2-2-|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|
(Again, you might want to listen to the song for the pattern)
the shades go, down it's in her head
painted room... can't deny there's something wrong...
Then return to the main riff for the Chorus
[Chorus]
G A G A G
don't call me daughter, not fit to
A G A G
the picture kept will remind me
G A G A G
don't call me daughter, not fit to
A G A G
the picture kept will remind me
A
don't call me...
This part is played the same as the Pre-Chorus
she holds the hand that holds her down
she will... rise above...
I didn't tab the solo here, but Stone seems to play the main riff through it.
(Play the chords softly here)
G A G
don't call me daughter, not fit to
G A G
the picture kept will remind me
G A G
don't call me daughter, not fit to be
G A G G A G
the picture kept will remind me
(Volume picks up for this chorus)
G A G A G
don't call me daughter, not fit to
A G A G
the picture kept will remind me
G A G A G
don't call me daughter, not fit to be
A G A G
the picture kept will remind me
A
don't call me...
Pre-Chorus part is played here, after 4 repetitions, mike carries on with some
other stuff while stone plays this through to the end:
E|------------------------|
B|------------------------|
G|------------------------|
D|--2h3-2h3-2h3-2h3-2h3h2-|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|
the shades go down
the shades go down
the shades go, go, go...
