Nothingman by Pearl Jam - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Pearl Jam Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4
Nothingman (Easy Acoustic Version)
Pearl Jam
Tuning: Whole step down EADGBE -> DGCFAD
(1/2 step down works too but is less accurate)
Chords transpose to:
G = 320033, Em = 022000, D = xx0232, C = x32010
I've tried to indicate an important chord transition between C and Em, that should be
exaggerated, with > symbols.
[Intro]
|1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . |1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . |

|G Em |D Em C |

* Strumming pattern:
V = downs on bass strings, v = quick downs on high strings, u = quick ups on high strings
[Verse 1] (same pattern as intro)
|1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . |
|G Em |
Once divided,
|D Em C |
nothing left to sub - tract.
|G Em |
Some words when spoken
|D Em C |
can't be taken back.
|G Em |
Walks on his own (oh... ..ohn) with
|D Em C |
thoughts he can't help thinking.
|G Em |
Future's above, but in the
|D Em C |
past he's slow and sinking.
|C > Em > C |
Caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the
|C > Em > C |
day he let it go... (oo.. oo...)
|C D / / // |

[Verse 2]
|G Em |D Em C |
She once believed in every story he had to tell.
|G Em |D Em C |
One day she stiffened, and took the other side.
|G Em |D Em C |
Empty stares... from each corner of a shared prison cell.
|G Em |D Em C |
One just escapes, one's left inside the well.
|C > Em > C |C > Em > C |
And he who forgets ...will be destined to remember...(er..)
|C D //// |
(ah, ah, oh-whoa!)
[Chorus]
|G Em > C |
Nothin'man,
