Pearl Jam – The Fixer chords ver. 2

The Fixer

Pearl Jam, from the album Backspacer.

Chords by Tom Richmond (tomrichmond@gmail.com) Comments and corrections welcome.

I play everything on the 7th and 10th frets, to get the feel of it you have to 
lift your left hand on and off of the notes as you strum, you have to listen quite 
carefully as some of it's a bit tricky. Once you have it though, it's a great song!

When it comes to the Middle eight, the alpeggio on the B is more complex than the
tab I wrote out, but if you're playing it on one guitar that's about all you can get 
in! I then play C on the 9th fret (as written out in the tab) before 11th and 10th for 
the Eb and D. Then the first A I play on the 12th before falling to the 5th for the 
2nd as it builds back into the Chorus.

Enjoy it!
