Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
Pearl Jam

Music by Abbrussese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder
Lyrics by Vedder

This is a great song off Vs. (1993)
The versions that are up didn't seem exactly right.
He had a good ear but problems naming the chords.
This version is basically right.  It's just acoustics
strumming with some electric effects over it.
A very fun song to play.

Haunting familiar yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me

Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldn't recall for I'm not my former
It's hard when your stuck upon a shelf

Small town predicts my fate

But now here you are and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade away
