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 :)

[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 :)
