Author/Artist: Pearl Jam
Title: Sleight Of Hand (Live Version)
Transcribed by: Rick Posey & Evan Cowan


The tuning (low to high) is EADGAE

This tab is stone's part only, as I don't think mike's part is significantly 
different from the studio version.  The specific version that is the loose 
basis for this tab is the 02-19-03 Melbourne performance, although I fixed 
the lyrical flubs.
