Hi, this is my first time tabbing any thing and it might suck.  Anyway 
this is a really simple song by pearl jam.  I am not in my room and i 
don't have my guitar with me so this might not be perfect but when i play 
with the song it sounds perfect.  I don't know the lyrics so look at 
another tab or at pearl jam lyrics.

During the chorus and the pre- (C, G, D) it sounds like two guitars 
playing, one electric with dist, and a second acoustic or clean with 
slight strums 

Also for that little riff at the end play with your D chord by striking 
the 3, 4, 5th strings at diff intervals
I hope that helps

From: [email protected] (MR VISH D AGGARWAL)

D
And I wished for so long, cannot stay...
D
All the precious moments, cannot stay...
D
It's not like wings have fallen, cannot stay...
D
But I feel something's missing, cannot say... 

G                                                       
Holding hands are daughters and sons                   
G
And their faiths just falling down, down, down, down...    
Em
I have wished for so long                              
A
How I wish for you today                               

D                                                     
We all walk the long road. Cannot stay...
D
There's no need to say goodbye... 
G
All the friends and family                
G                      D
All the memories going round, round, round, round
Em
I have wished for so long                 
A
How I wish for you today                  

G                                        
And the wind keeps roaring               
G
And the sky keeps turning gray            
Em
And the sun is set                    
A
The sun will rise another day...

D                                                     
We all walk the long road. Cannot stay...
D
There's no need to say goodbye... 
G
All the friends and family                
G                      D
All the memories going round, round, round, round
Em
I have wished for so long            
A
How I wish for you today               
Em
How I've wished for so long              
A
How I wish for you today              
                                         
D
We all walk the long road  (3x)
