Sleight Of Hand Tabs

(ver. 2)
Pearl Jam
Ok I take no credit for this song, I'm just simply adding to the archive since there's
another version of it, which seems to be a live version - this is the studion version.
tab for this also.



Might be in an alternate tuning (my guess is open-D)
Here it is in standard, some of it doesn't sound quite right...
