Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
Pearl Jam

Music by Abbrussese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder
Lyrics by Vedder


This is a great song off Vs. (1993)
The versions that are up didn't seem exactly right.
I edited the version put up by ENGST2@vms.cis.pitt.edu.
He had a good ear but problems naming the chords.
This version is basically right.  It's just acoustics
strumming with some electric effects over it.
A very fun song to play.

D         G              C9     G
I seem to recognize your face
D          G                  C9      G
Haunting familiar yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me

C9        G              C9
All these changes taking place
G                 C9 
Wish I'd seen the place
    G             C9    G
But no one's ever taken me

D          C9            G    C9   G
Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away

D         G              C9      G
I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldn't recall for I'm not my former
It's hard when your stuck upon a shelf

C9          G               C9
I change by not changing at all
      G                C9
Small town predicts my fate
   G                       C9       G
Perhaps that’s what no one wants to see

D      C9      G         C9    G
I just want to scream hello
D  C9       G                  C9            G
My god it's been so long never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade away

D          C9            G    C9   G
Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away
