Elliott Smith - A Fond Farewell Chords & Tabs

Elliot Smith - Fond Farewell
tabbed by: moveshhh9@gmail.com
credit to: grptertius@yahoo.com for fitting the words with the chords

This tab was made for beginners. I am writing this with them in mind.

I know it's not exactly how he plays it. Elliott Smith almost always uses barre/
bar chords but this is a much easier way to play a fun song.

If you have any way to improve this, please comment. I would love to know the 
hammer-ons and pull-offs that he uses.

Tuning: 1/2 step down (E♭-A♭-D♭-G♭-B♭-E♭)
In other words: Standard tuning, but make every note flat.

G                    C           G
The litebrite's now black and white

Cause you took apart a picture that wasn't right
Bm                  C
Pitch burning on a shining sheet
Am                        C
The only maker that you'd want to meet
Em                 C        G
The dying man in a living room
        Am             Em
Whose shadow paces the floor

He'll take you out any open door

It's not what I'm like

It's just a fond farewell to a friend

Who couldn't get things right

A fond farewell to a friend

Good and evil matched perfect it's a great romance
Bm                    C
I can deal with some psychic pain
Am                    C
If it'll slow down my higher brain
Em                 C        G
Veins full of disappearing ink

Vomiting in the kitchen sink

Disconnecting from the missing link

I see you're leaving me
Am                    Em
And taking up with the enemy
Bm                      C
The cold comfort of the in between
Am                   C
A little less than a human being
Em                   C        G
A little less than a happy high
Am                  Em
A little less than a suicide
Bm                       C
The only things that you really tried
