Eddie Vedder – Soon Forget

“Soon Forget” by Pearl Jam

This is work I stole from ‘http://www.alligatorboogaloo.com/uke/tabs/050526.html’ and revised.

Sounds just about right, a few inconsistency here and there.

Comments and revisions most welcome.

Note: it is played half a step down, i.e. ‘C’ becomes ‘B’

[C]Sorry is the fool who trades his soul [F] for a Corvette
[D7]Thinks he’ll get the girl, he’ll only [E7] get the mechanic
[A7]What’s missing? He’s living [F]a day he’ll soon for[G]get

[mute the strings and strum the rythym quickly]

[F] That’s one more time around, [G7]the sun is going down
[E7]The moon is out, but he’s drunk and shouting, [A7]putting people down
[F]He’s pissing, [G7]he’s living a day he’ll soon forget [C] [F] [C]

[G7]Counts his money every [F]morning,[G7]the only thing that keeps him [F]horny
[G7]Locked in a giant house, that’s [F]alarming
[Fm]The townsfolk, they all laugh [G]

[muted strings strumming]

[C]Sorry is the fool who trades his love [F]for high-rise rent
[D7]Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you [E7]get
[A7]And it’s fitting, he’s barely living [F]a day he’ll soon for[G]get

[muted strings strumming]

[F]That’s one more time around, [G7]and there is not a sound
He’s [E7]lying dead, clutching Benjamins, never [A7]put the money down
[F]He’s stiffening, we’re all [G7]whistling, a man we’ll soon for[C]get

(do the quickly C to F strum)

Cheers,

Ryan
