Jeremy
Words & Music:
Pearl Jam
A [stay on A until "Daddy"]
At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops with him on top.
Lemon yellow sun; arms raised in a "V".
The dead lay in pools of maroon below.
G/A D/A A
G/A
Daddy didn't give attention to the fact that mommy didn't
care.
D/A A
King Jeremy, The Wicked ruled his world.
CHORUS:

Dm E F A
Jeremy spoke in class--- today. [2x]
Clearly, I remember pickin' on the boy. Seemed a harmless little fuck.
But, we unleashed a lion.
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast.
How could I forget?
He hit me with a surprise left.
My jaw left hurtin', ooo, dropped wide open.
Just like the day, like the day I heard...
Daddy didn't give affection & the boy was something mommy
wouldn't wear.
King Jeremy, The Wicked ruled his world.
CHORUS:
OUTRO: [over
F G A...sometimes Am]
Try to forget this...
Try to erase this from the blackboard.
Jeremy Tab (tabber
unknown)
