Say Yes by Elliott Smith
Say Yes
Tuning: Full step down.
Verse 1:
Note that the last chord A7 has a few extra strums. The tabbed notes are exactly what
Elliott plays, but you can play it in your own way, doesn't really matter as long as you
keep the right rhythm. You could use the same strums for every chord (the same
for every verse actually), but I'm to lazy to tab that out.

Verse 2:
Here I altered a few things. The 1st guitar plays the same as verse 1. The 2nd guitar
comes in and plays a few high notes on the e-string. So with only one guitar you could
play it like this.

We broke up a month ago

Em7 A7
I'd be around the morning after
Intermezzo/solo:
1st Guitar plays the chords as in verse 1, 2nd guitar plays the solo. I tried to combine
both guitars in something playable for one guitar. This means that some notes are an
octave lower than the 2nd guitar plays them.
You'll have to figure out the rhythm yourself here. To make it more clear I put an
asterix (*) next to the notes that should coincide with the bass strokes of the 1st
guitar. When you put the right accent on the notes of the solo and keep the rhythm
correct at the same time then it sounds great. Practise required!

Verse 3:
The same as verse 2 with only one difference at the end on the A7 chords. There you can
play something similar as the end of the solo:

Verse 4:
The same as verse 3.
Bridge 1:
C D Em
Situtations get fucked up
G A7 C
But turned around sooner or laaaaa... ter...
Here I will combine the simple chords of the 1st guitar again with the 2nd guitar high
notes. The chords above the tab are there to indicate the rhythm, since the rhythm of
the chords is easy to hear in the song (Em is not played in my version, although 1st
guitar does play it). So you'll know where and how fast the notes must be played.

Verse 5:
The same as verses 3&4.
Bridge 2:
G Gaug5 Em
Crooked spin can't come to rest
F9/5flat Em
I'm damaged bad at best
G C
She'll decide what she wants
G Gaug5 Em
I'll probably be the last to know
F9/5flat Em
No one says until it shows
G Am
And you see how it iiiiiiiis...
G F Em Cm
They want you or they don't...
G
Say yes...
The word 'yes' dissolves into verse 6 which of course starts with the G chord again.
In this part there is mainly one guitar so this is not too difficult. Over the C
chord and the Am chord there are some notes from the 2nd guitar which I combined
again. The same for the last G and F chords.
