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.
Alternate tuning: tune b-string to c and down half a step
Intro:
Am (x02200) (4 bars)
Play this two times:
----0-0-----0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-----0-0--------0-0------|
