Twilight by Elliott Smith
Twilight
Standard Tuning (I play it tuned a step down because it works better with my voice)
On the D chord, i put the a string in parenthesis.
Because its hard to mute out, and it sounds
perfectly fine, you can play it if you want.
Technically you aren't supposed to, but it
the same.

But how long will you stay with me, baby?

version 3
Tuning: EADGBe
Follows the same pattern for the verses and chorus, with the addition of three chords at
end for the last "Already somebody's baby."
(Verse)
F
Haven't laughed this hard in a long time,
Am G F C
Better stop now before I start crying,
F
Go off to sleep in the sunshine,
Am G F C
Don't want to see the day when it's dying,
(Chorus)
D F
She's a sight to see, she's good to me,
Am G F C
But I'm already somebody's baby,
D F
She's a pretty thing, and she knows everything,
Am G F C
But I'm already somebody's baby,
So repeat this pattern with the rest of the lyrics, which I have below, and then after
final chorus play:
Am G F C
Already somebody's baby.
Make sure to drag the F chord on longer than the rest of the song before you switch to
C chord.
F Am G C D(hold the 6th string with your thumb)
