----------     ---------

 Firstly I'd like to say ,that I've found many different versions of 'Not-
  hingman' in internet ,but I tried to play them ,and none of them seemed to
  satisfy me. That's why I decided to take my guitar and write the tab by
  myself. I know that I may not play it exactly as Pearl Jam does,but that
  is just my own interpretation of the song. If you like it, that's fine, but
  ,of course ,you don't have to agree with me. When it comes to me , I like
  the way it sounds ,although I know it may not be perfect. So if you have
  any suggestions e-mail me. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

There is one main riff which is repeated many times in the song:

      G              e     D     e     C
 e ---3--3--3333--333------2--222-----------------
 B ------------------------3--333------1--1--111--
 G ------------------------2--222-----------------
 D ------------------2--222------2--2222--2--222--
 A ---2--2--2222--2222--222------2--2223--3--333--
 E ---3--3--3333--333-----------------------------

The song starts with this riff played 2 times and then Eddie starts to sing:

  G            e D              e     C
  Once divided   Nothing's left to subtract

  G                      e D        e     C
  Some words when spoken   can't be taken back

  G                   e     D           e          C
  He walks on his own  with thoughts he can't help thinking

  G               e          D         e        C
  Future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking

  G                e
  Caught a bolt of lightning

  D          e             C
  Cursed the day he let it go

  G           e          D e e        C           C      G
  Nothingman  Nothingman     Isn't it something?  Nothingman


  G                 e        D        e      C
  She once believed in every story he had to tell

  G                      e D        e     C
  One day she stiffened,   took the other side

  G            e         D           e             C
  Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell

  G                 e     D      e        C
  One just escapes, one's left inside the well

  G                  e       D             e  C
  And he who forgets will be destined to remember  ooooh


  G           e          D e e        C           C      G
  Nothingman  Nothingman     Isn't it something?  Nothingman


  G            e
  Oh she don't want him

  G            e
  Oh she won't feed him

  G     e    C      G
  After he's flown away

  G        e   e G G        e
  Into the sun     Into the sun

  G
  Burn   burn    oooh

  G           e          D e e        C           C      G
  Nothingman  Nothingman     Isn't it something?  Nothingman

  G           e          D e e             C          C      G
  Nothingman  Nothingman     Could've been something  Nothingman
