This is a cover of the Beatles original You've Got To Hide Your Love Away,
Eddie Vedder played it on acoustic for the movie I Am Sam.
Acoustic
Standard Tuning: EADGBe
The strum pattern is really simple, though the Pearl Jam cover is noticeably
different from the Beatles version.
Here is an example:
--3---3-3-3-3--
--3---3-3-3-3--
--0---0-0-0-0--
--0---0-0-0-0--
--2---2-2-2-2--
--3---3-3-3-3--
Strum down, very brief pause, down up down up, it should all fit into a single beat
(i.e. there are two, 4-beat bars to a line below, EXCEPT every other line of the
verses in which is switches to 5/4 time, but that doesn't really matter, just play
each chord strum pattern within each beat).
Each chord letter above the lyrics should represent a beat in the song, HOWEVER
don't rely on it, it's not perfect. To be more accurate with the strum patterns,
listen to the Pearl Jam version, as well as the Beatles version to get a better
idea of melodic pauses and beats. So here we go, I hope I explained everything
clearly and that you like what I have down. Feel free to contact me (my e-mail
address is written at the bottom, under my name) and tell me what I've forgotten or
what I've done wrong, or even if you want me to clear something up about the tab.
Chords used:
G 320033
C x3201x
F xx3211
D xxx232
Dsus4 xxx233
Dsus2 xxx230
riff 1:
-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-2---2---2-2-2-2----
-----3-3-3-3-----3-3-3-3-----3-3-3-3---3---3-3-3-3----
-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-2---2---2-2-2-2----

VERSE 1:
G D F G C C F C
Here I stand, head in hands, turn my face to the wall
G D F G C C F C D
If she's gone I can't go on, feeling two feet small
G D F G C C F C
Every where people stare, each and every day
G D F G C C F C (see riff 1)
I can see them laugh at me, and I hear them say
CHORUS:
G G C C Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
VERSE 2:
G D F G C C F C
How can I even try, I can never win
G D F G C C F C D
Hearing them, seeing them, in the state I'm in
G D F G C C F C
How can she say to me "Love will find a way."
G D F G C C F C (see riff 1)
Gather round, oh you clowns, let me hear you say
CHORUS:
G G C C Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
G D F G C C F C
G D F G C C F C G
And you're done. I hope you didn't think it sucked!
Thanks, Jules.

| I love this song and believe there can be many interpretations of it. Mine is that it's about state of mind evolution, and that sometimes to understand something, it takes "going into hiding" to find one's self and the simplicity of what life is really about; a full-circle evolution of the mind. | |

| four days alone with nothing. emerge empowered... "the first human face you see will knock you back 50%." -buk this song, as stated by jdevils3, is said to have been inspired by the works of Charles Bukowski. Read his work. One of, if not the best songs on Yeild. | |

| Ive written several essays on this song, truly an amazing piece of work. More then likely it is about an awakening, and becoming able to synthesize what is real and what is truly important in life, and all the physical aspects that come with it | |
