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.

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.

Am C
[Verse 1]
GThe litebrite's now bClack and whiGte
Cause you tAmook apart a picture thatEm wasn't right
BmPitch burning on a sChining sheet
AmThe only maker that you'd Cwant to meet
EmThe dying man in a Cliving roGom
Whose shAmadow paces the Emfloor
BmHe'll take you out anyC open door
[Chorus]
AmThis is not my Clife
It's just a fGond farewell to a friend
AmIt's not what I'm Clike
It's just a fGond farewell to a fEmriend
AmWho couldn't get things Cright
A fGond farewell to a fEmriend
[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
GHe said really I just Cwanna danGce
Good and Amevil matched perfect it's aEm great romance
BmI can deal with some pCsychic pain
AmIf it'll slow down my Chigher brain
EmVeins full of disapCpearing iGnk
AmVomiting in the kEmitchen sink
BmDisconnecting from the Cmissing link
[Chorus]
AmThis is not my Clife
It's just a fGond farewell to a friend
AmIt's not what I'm Clike
It's just a fGond farewell to a fEmriend
AmWho couldn't get things Cright
A fGond farewell to a fEmriend

[Verse 3]
GI see you're Cleaving mGe
AmAnd taking up with theEm enemy
BmThe cold comfort of the Cin between
AmA little less than a Chuman being
EmA little less than a Chappy higGh
AmA little less than aEm suicide
BmThe only things that you Creally tried
[Chorus]
AmThis is not my Clife
It's just a fGond farewell to a friend
AmIt's not what I'm Clike
It's just a fGond farewell to a frEmiend
AmWho couldn't get thingsC right
A fGond farewell to a frEmiend
