Standard (EADGBE)

thumbed

This is a guitar transcription that includes the melody. As a lot of Elliott

Smith’s songs feature lots

of separate guitars and vocals, I tried to make this version contain as much as possible on one

guitar.

The picking pattern is easier to figure out if you separate it into the bass

notes, which start 3 2 3 2

on the A and D strings, and the melody which is all the other notes.

Verse

Chorus

Dm E Am Am/g

For your own protection over their affection

No----body broke your heart

 You broke your own ‘cos you can’t

Finish what you start...

(Walk down Alameda...)

Bridge bit

 For one or two

Minutes she liked y--ou

C G Fmaj7 G/b Cmaj7

But the fix is in
