Elliot Smith - A Fond Farewell Tuning: 1/2 step down (E♭-A♭-D♭-G♭-B♭-E♭) PLEASE comment or email me if you think something is wrong. NOTES: 1. I wrote another tab for this about a year ago with only chords. I added the intro and corrected other small mistakes on this one. 2. I would love if someone figured out the hammer-on's and pull-offs that i missed. 3. At times, there are two different guitar parts, but they play together during the verse and chorus. tabbed by: moveshhh9@gmail.com credit to: grptertius@yahoo.com for fitting the words with the chords All Chords - gave both open and barre chords. elliott uses barre chords but open are much easier to learn.

^GThe litebrite's now b^Clack and whi^Gte Cause you t^Amook apart a picture that^Em wasn't right ^BmPitch burning on a s^Chining sheet ^AmThe only maker that you'd ^Cwant to meet ^EmThe dying man in a ^Cliving ro^Gom Whose sh^Amadow paces the ^Emfloor ^BmHe'll take you out any^C open door

Chorus:

^AmThis is not my ^Clife It's just a f^Gond farewell to a friend ^AmIt's not what I'm ^Clike It's just a f^Gond farewell to a f^Emriend ^AmWho couldn't get things ^Cright A f^Gond farewell to a f^Emriend

^GHe said really I just ^Cwanna dan^Gce Good and ^Amevil matched perfect it's a^Em great romance ^BmI can deal with some p^Csychic pain ^AmIf it'll slow down my ^Chigher brain ^EmVeins full of disap^Cpearing i^Gnk ^AmVomiting in the k^Emitchen sink ^BmDisconnecting from the ^Cmissing link

Chorus:

^GI see you're ^Cleaving m^Ge ^AmAnd taking up with the^Em enemy ^BmThe cold comfort of the ^Cin between ^AmA little less than a ^Chuman being ^EmA little less than a ^Chappy hig^Gh ^AmA little less than a^Em suicide ^BmThe only things that you ^Creally tried

Chorus:

^AmThis is not my ^Clife It's just a f^Gond farewell to a friend ^AmIt's not what I'm ^Clike It's just a f^Gond farewell to a fr^Emiend ^AmWho couldn't get things^C right A f^Gond farewell to a fr^Emiend ^AmThis is not my ^Clife It's just a f^Gond farewell to a f^Emriend
