2:45 AM by Elliott Smith
2:45 AM
Tuning- Normal: EADGBE
Opening riff:
This little picked solo is played over all of the song. Like most of
Elliot's songs, this one is mostly a looping of chords and/or riff
e|----------------------------
B|----------------------------
G|----------------------------
D|----------------0--2--3-----
A|-------0--2--3--------------
E|----3-----------------------
Some times he changes the last few notes like this (I think):
e|----------------------------
B|----------------------------
G|----------------------------
D|----------------0-----------
A|-------0--2--3--------------
E|----3--------------3--2-----
This is directly followed by the chord played :
C OR C
e|---0--- e|---0---
B|---1--- B|---1---
G|---0--- G|---0---
D|---2--- D|---2---
A|---3--- A|---3---
E|---0--- E|---3---
AND
G

A|---2---
E|---3---
Played with three downstrokes on C then a quick upstroke on C,
two more downstrokes on C, then a downstroke on G (rings).
The first part (above) is played over most of the song before he gets to the part
"With hidden cracks..." he uses:
Am
e|---0---
B|---1---
G|---2---
D|---2---
A|---0---
E|---0---
This part is played:
C Am
with hidden cracks that don't show but
C G(rings)
That constantly just grow
He plays this on the two other parts where he changes the rhythm:
"Tired of livin in a cloud" and "Lookin for Somebody's arms to"
