Someday At Christmas

Pearl Jam

Tom: A

Played w/ slight variation throughout. Tried to get the chords lined up as best 
as possible. At the "One happy morning, people will care," I changed the chord
played from xxx666 to xx11-10-11x because of the slide up the neck. It's the same
chord so if you prefer the xxx666 (and its position after key changes), playing
it like that is just fine (both chords are identical).

G2 plays a lot of Wah filler/noise throughout the song.
