I've never actually seen a completely correct tab for this song anywhere online, and I'm not
saying that mine is 100% correct, but it sounds right to me. Email me with any corrections.

Standard tuning (that is, capo on second fret if you've been playing a lot of Elliott Smith)


Intro:

(This is basically just the chords from the piano part. You can pretty much ignore the bass
notes of this intro if you want to. How do you play E9/G# E9/G# on guitar anyway??)
