have to polish listening the song, if you want to get a nicer version. You know that its not
easy to tab Pearl Jam songs. Be kind.

The story behind the song

"I Am Mine" was written by Pearl Jam's vocalist Eddie Vedder in a hotel room before the band's first show after the Roskilde tragedy in 2000. Vedder wrote the song to reassure himself that things would be alright. The song tackles existential matters, with Vedder explaining that it's about what's inside you, owning it, and having the freedom for it to come out. Drummer Matt Cameron noted that the song has all the elements the band is known for: strong lyrics, a strong hook, and a good sense of melody.
