Eddie Vedder – Goodbye

October 14, 2008


Eddie Vedder – Goodbye (Chords)(PDF)

Having done one of Vedder’s mandolin songs, it’s about time I had a go at one of his uke songs, Goodbye from the soundtrack to A Brokedown Melody (pleasingly from Woodshed Films).

The tuning is a bit of a nightmare. Vedder has his uke tuned down about three quarters of a step. If you want to play along with the original, you’ll have to tune your uke to the song itself. The chord names are written up in their standard tuning names to avoid confusion (hopefully).

It has to be said, the playing is a little shoddy in places. But there are some interesting chord moves in the song, particularly how he plays around with the Bb chord. And where did that B9 chord come from?

    Excellent tab! Thanks for the jumpstart on this song. For the second part where he says “I dont know where you are tonight” I usually play a C7 bar chord to a Eb bar chord.

    Eb 7 bar chord!
