CHRISTIAN BROTHERS - ELLIOTT SMITH
TABBED BY SHOREY, 2019
As with most, if not all of Elliott's songs, this is in D standard - one whole step down, DGCFAd. If you
haven't tried it, give it a go! Somehow it just seems to bring out the magic of Elliott a bit better than
standard.
--------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
Timings are fairly simple - I've done my best with the spacing on the tab, but a listen to the track
should give you an idea of how it's played. All downstrokes.

This is repeated twice, and in the second runthrough the guitars are double tracked. I'm pretty sure one track
plays the second chord (C minor) at the 3rd fret instead, but it's fine either way.
