“BLACK” (PEARL JAM)
VERSE:
(reference: E F#)
(E) (A) (Asus4) (A)
sheets of empty canvas
untouched sheets of clay
they spread out before me
as her body once did
all 5 horizons
revolved around the sun
(as the earth to the sun)
now the air i tasted and breathed
has taken a turn
PRECHORUS:
(C) (Em)
oh and all i taught her was everything
(C) (Em)
oh all i know she gave all…that she wore…
CHORUS:
(D)
and my bitter hands
(C)
shake beneath the clouds
(Em)
of what was everything
all the pictures have all been
washed in black
tattooed everything
VERSE 2:
i take a walk outside
i’m surrounded by some kids at play
i can feel their laughter
so what can i say
(into rolling stones’ “as tears go by”)
PRECHORUS:
oh all my twisted thoughts the spin round my head (i’m spinning)
ooh i’m spinning how quick the sun can drop away aya yayyaya
CHORUS:
and my bitter hands
on broken glass
of what was everything
all my pictures have all been washed in black
tattooed everything
(D)
all my love gone bad
(C)
turned my world to black
(D)
tattooed all i see
(C)
all that i am
(Em)
all i’ll be…
(D)
i know some day you’ll have a beautiful life
(C)
i know you’ll be a sun
(Em)
in somebody else’s sky…
(D)
why why
(C)
why…can’t it be can’t it be in
(Em)
mine…

VERSE 2:
clearly i remember
picking on the boy
seemed a harmless little fuck
ooh but we unleashed a lion
gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady’s breast
how could i forget?
and he hit me with a surprise left
my jaw left hurting
ooh dropped wide open
just like the day
ooh, like the day i heard
daddy didn’t give affection, no
and the boy was something that mommy wouldn’t wear
(dennis miller snark: “here comes king jeremy the wicked…”)

(“pearl jam” is an american rock band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1990)
.
Since its inception, the band’s line-up has comprised Eddie Vedder (lead vocals), Mike McCready (lead guitar), Stone Gossard (rhythm guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass).
The band’s fifth member is drummer Matt Cameron (also of Soundgarden), who has been with the band since 1998.
Boom Gaspar (piano) has also been a session/touring member with the band since 2002.
Drummers Dave Krusen, Matt Chamberlain, Dave Abbruzzese and Jack Irons are former members of the band.
Formed after the demise of Gossard and Ament’s previous band, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album, Ten, in 1991.
One of the key bands in the grunge movement of the early 1990s, over the course of the band’s career, its members became noted for their refusal to adhere to traditional music industry practices, including refusing to make proper music videos or give interviews, and engaging in a much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster.
(in 2006, Rolling Stone described the band as having “spent much of the past decade deliberately tearing apart their own fame”)
To date, the band has sold nearly 32 million records in the United States and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
Pearl Jam has outlasted and outsold many of its contemporaries from the alternative rock breakthrough of the early 1990s, and is considered one of the most influential bands of that decade.
(‘stephen thomas erlewine’ of ‘allmusic referred to ‘pearl jam’ as “the most popular american rock & roll band of the ’90s”)
(‘pearl jam’ was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on ‘7 april 2017’)
(their first year of eligibility)
