Old woman behind the counter in a small town
by Pearl Jam

Here are the chords. I sort of made up names for the ones with a "/".
I think they are placed reasonably close to the proper changes in the
lyrics, but if you have a feel for the tune it will probably work much
better. If I didn't put the chords on every line, it's because they are
the same as the line above. Enjoy!
