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)

version 4
Standard Tuning.
I found this easy fingering and
I saw Elliott play it this way in an interview. Plus, this
is in standard tuning, which is always nice. If you want to
play along with the recorded version, just capo the 3rd fret and this
will work.
