Corduroy


Corduroy
by Pearl Jam
transcribed by Scott S. Minder

Notes:

Some sections of the song are not transcribed, but are obvious
repetitions of earlier sections.  I have tried to note these
sections when possible.

Guitar I  - medium-light distortion
Guitar II - heavy distortion


Intro:

This is a sampling of the intro.  All the parts are here, but some
sections are longer than tabbed.  Use your ears to figure them out.
