Repeat chorus 3 times and play chorus chords once, ending on C Transcribed by chadwick and scott Waltz #2 (XO) Elliott Smith First of all let it be said that this tab is probably more representative of some of Elliott's live versions than the album version...said! Also a big thanks to Scott and Chadwick for getting me started.
