name: Aaron "Boney" Hauck artist: Pearl Jam SongTitle: Light Years Tabs: Pearl Jam - Light Years Tabbed By Aaron "Boney" Hauck email: [email protected] This is my favorite song off of Pearl Jam's latest album Binaural. I've only had the album for a week, since it was released, but when I heard this song I had to know how to play it. I think it is correct, it sounds like it to me :) I havn't yet tabbed the solos but I'll get to it when I can. Disclaimer This is my interpretation of the song and all work has been done by me.

[Verse]
D         Bm                  C
I've used hammers made out of wood.

              A                     D
I have played games with pieces and rules.

       Bm                     C
I've deciphered tricks at the bar,

               A                         D
but now you're gone I havn't figured out why.

                  Bm                      C
I've come up with riddles and jokes about war.

                 A                        D
I've figured out numbers and what they're for.

                Bm                           C
I've understood feelings and I've understood words,

                     A
but how could you be taken away.
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 D   Dmaj7 Dsus2  D
And   wherever  you've gone,

Dmaj7 D   Dmaj7 D  Dmaj7 Bm
and   wherever  we might go.

              A
It don't seem fair,

                D
todays just disappear.

Dmaj7 D       Dmaj7 Dsus2 D
Your  light's reflected   now,

Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D   Dmaj7 Bm
        Reflected from afar.

            A
We were but stones,

                   D
your light made us stars.
[Bridge] A C D A [Verse]
D          Bm
With heavy breath,

           C
awakened regrets,

              A                               D
backpages and days alone that could have been spent,

              Bm            C
together, but we were miles apart,

              A                           D
every inch between us becomes light years now.

              Bm
No time to be void,

                 C
or to save up on life,

                 A
ah you've got to spend it all...
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 D   Dmaj7 Dsus2  D
And   wherever  you've gone,

Dmaj7 D   Dmaj7 D  Dmaj7 Bm
and   wherever  we might go.

              A
It don't seem fair,

                      D
you seemed to like it here.

Dmaj7 D       Dmaj7 Dsus2 D
Your  light's reflected   now,

Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D   Dmaj7 Bm
        Reflected from afar.

            A
We were but stones,

                   D
your light made us stars.
[Solo] A A Asus A C* B A C* B A C* B C* B C* [Chorus]
Dmaj7 D   Dmaj7 Dsus2  D
And   wherever  you've gone,

Dmaj7 D   Dmaj7 D  Dmaj7 Bm
and   wherever  we might go.

              A
It don't seem fair,

                D
todays just disappear.

Dmaj7 D       Dmaj7 Dsus2 D
Your  light's reflected   now,

Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D   Dmaj7 Bm
        Reflected from afar.

            A
We were but stones,

                   D
your light made us stars.
ENDING A C D repeat to fade.
