Intro

Verse 1
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/pearl_jam/thumbing_my_way_tab_ver_3.html ]
D          D/F#                G/B            G/F   A
I have not been home since you left long ago...
D          D/F# riff   G/B         G/F    A
  Thumbing my way back to heaven...
D          D/F#             G/B                  G/F   A
  Counting steps... walking backwards on the road
D        D/F# riff     G/B        G/F    A
  Counting my way back to heaven...


Chorus 1

C*          G*               G                C
 I can't be free with what's locked inside of me
C/G            Am       G               G
If there was a key, you took it in your hands
C*                   G*               G                     C
 There's no wrong or right... but I'm sure there's good and bad
C/G           Am         G           G
The questions linger overhead


Verse 2

D             D/F#                       G/B               G/F   A
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
D          D/F# riff   G/B         G/F    A
  Thumbing my way back to heaven...
D            D/F#               G/B            G/F   A
  Wish that I could hold you... wish that I had...
D          D/F# riff   G/B         G/F    A
  Thinking 'bout heaven...


Bridge

C**                            C                            C
I let go of a rope... thinking that's what held me back...
Eb                                    F
And in time I've realized... it's now wrapped around my neck
C**                                  C                     C
I can't see what's next... from this lonely overpass
Eb                                   F
Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past

Chorus 2

C*              G*              G                  C
 All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
C/G           Am           G           G
Choosing the shiny ones instead
C*         G*                   G          C
 I turned my back... now there's no turning back...
C/G           Am           G           G
Mmmmmmmmmmm


Verse 3

D             D/F#                       G/B               G/F   A
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
D          D/F# riff    G/B       G/F    A
  I smile, but who am I kidding?
D             D/F#                    G/B                         G/F   A
  I'm just walkin' the miles... every once in a while, get a ride

D          D/F# riff    G/B       G/F    A
  Thumbing my way back to heaven... x3
