I know this song has tabbed quite a bit but after watching a couple of live videos
I found this is how Stone Gossard plays it. I find this way is much easier and
gives it a nicer sound. All the other tabs are correct, but there's more than one
way to skin a cat. Great song, hope you enjoy.
Capo on the 5th fret.
Chords:
C (x32010)
Am (002210)
G (320001) or (320033) Both sound nice.

Caught a bolt of lighting, cursed the day he let it go

She once believed, in every story he had to tell

One day she stiffened, took the other side
C Am G Am F
Empty stares, from each corner of a shared prison cell

One just escaped, one's left inside the well

And he who forgets, will be destined to remember
C F G
Nothingman, nothingman
C F G
Isn't it something, nothingman

Oh, she don't want him (she don't want him)
F Am
Oh, she won't feed him

After he's flown away
