From: Preserved Moose <jfafreak@wam.umd.edu> Elsewhere by Sarah McLachlan from the album Fumbling Towards Ecstacy Transcribed by John Argentiero (jfafreak@wam.umd.edu) The bulk of this song is done on piano, but I will provide chords that sound decent on guitar. The spacing of the chords may seem odd, but I tried my best to match them up with the vocals. The album is the best reference for when to play what. This is some tab for the intro, notes in brackets are supposed to be done on piano. e--2-------------|-------|----------|----------|-------|-----| B-----3----------|-------|-[3]------|------3---|-1--0--|--0--| G----------------|-------|------[0]-|----------|-------|-----| D----------------|-------|----------|-[4]-[0]--|-------|--2--| A----------------|-------|----------|----------|[3][2]-|-----| E--------0-------|-(0)---|(0)-------|(0)-------|-------|-----| hold that e for about 2 bars 1st verse...

The song fades out repeating that last line. Sometime around the last chorus, the guitar stops playing chords and plays this: e-----|-----|-------|---------|--------|----------|--------|-2b1/2-2--| B-X-X-|-X-X-|-X-3-X-|-X-----X-|-X------|-X------X-|----X-X-|----------| G-X-X-|-X-X-|-X---X-|-X-----X-|-X-5--X-|-X------X-|----X-X-|----------| D-X-X-|-X-X-|-X---X-|-X-5h7-X-|-X------|-X--5h7-X-|--7-X-X-|----------| A-----|-----|-------|---------|--------|----------|--------|----------| E-----|-----|-------|---------|--------|----------|--------|----------| This is played twice and then the guitar goes into the outro. Listen to the album closely for the timing of this part, its kinda buried in the piano parts. When playing this song alone on acoustic guitar, just ignore this part and play the straight chords listed above. Hope thiss is all you need to play this rather spiffy song. Enjoy, and email me with amy comments! John jfafreak@wam.umd.edu
