Drifting Tab

This song is best played in Eb tuning.  You could probably get away with playing this song with standard tuning, but it won't sound as good as if you tuned the guitar 1/2 step down

I know that this is not exactly like the song Pearl Jam plays but I will never be able to mimic them perfectly - this is my own interpretation.  This is how I play the song and this is how it sounds good to me.  If you think you can play it better then do it.  If you figure it out constructive criticism would be appreciated.
