Tuning: Standard Tuning (EADBGE)
This is my first tab so bear with me. Can't say 100% if it's correct but it's a way to
play Jeremy acoustically with just one guitar and it sounds good. I didn't put the rhythm
in there, you will have to listen to the song for it but if you look at the notes in the
verse I just put the changes in there. You should be able to follow along. I recommend
playing the song kind of dirty in the sense that you should follow the notes but if you
hit some open strings in the verses it just gives it a more full sound. You'll see what I
mean when you play it. Enjoy!

Chorus:
For the A chord in the chorus do hammers and pull offs with your 4th finger on the
B string to get the effect of the little lead part in there.
Jeremy spoke in    class               Today
Dm               F    E    F             A

After the 2nd chorus when he first starts with "woo woo woo" (continuing on to) "trying
to forget this" play the first part of the verse like this

Then when he gets to "board" Play F - G - A  until he repeats the "Jeremy spoke in" part.
When he does that do an F and G like this
F                G         F                 G          F
Jeremy spoke in  spoke in  Jeremy spoke in,  spoke in   Jeremy spoke in
G        A

Then repeat F - G - A  the rest of the song

	this song tells us so much about society. Read up on Jeremy Dalle, you will learn alot about the cruelty of kids

	I always thought that the line went like this: "dead lay in pools of maroon BLOOD" instead of ...maroon BELOW. Seems to fit in better but I could be wrong. Great song, even better that it is a true story, well sad but better. I have never seen the video but am a huge Pearl Jam fan, is there a someplace I could see it somehow?

	Written about Jeremy Wade Delle, a 16-year-old loner from Richardson, Texas, who'd taken a gun to school and shot himself dead in English class.

	I don't think the SONG was controversial, just the video. That's why they cut a lot of the scenes from it, which brings me to the point I was going to make. They cut the scene in which "Jeremy" has the gun in his mouth, so when people see the video with the blood covering the children, they generally think the song is about him shooting his classmates. I can understand them making that assumption, because people who aren't really familiar with Pearl Jam can't really understand the lyrics (myself included). I definitely believe that the censorship of the video is what caused so much controversy over this song.

	This song and it's video are amazing. Totally awesome song.

Nick Rhythm Player	#7 by Nick Carrasco at Oct 17, 2007 at 1:16 AM EST
	I love this song... I preformed it in my Drama audition and got a lead! lol And it's not quite about the quiet kid who never says anything, it's about the kid that has been hassled into never speaking, and is forced make himself heard by shooting himself in class... "Jeremy spoke in class today" And SixMeterPeter, comments like that made the Jeremy's of the world...
