Elliott Smith - No Name #1
from Roman Candle, 1994
Of course, Elliott tends to have two guitars going at once: one playing rhythm chords
another playing a simple riff on the B string over it. However, the riff is playable in
chords, so this is both combined. The strumming rhythm is tough to convey, so listen to the song.
CHORDS USED:
D x32010
Em x02210
C xx3211
Am xx0231
D 355433
D7 353433
VERSE:
The chords go D Em C Am, and the riff (on the B string) goes like this:
B|-1---1h3-3-1---1---1h3-3-1---1---1h3-3---3---3-0---3-|

Verse Rhythm:
Dat a partyEm he was waitingC looking kind of Amspooky and withDdrawn
Dlike he could beEm underwaterC the mighty mother Amwith her hundred Darms
Dswept all aEmsideC i Amhate to walk beDhind
Dother people'sEm ambitionC i Amsaw you waiting
Chorus Rhythm:
Dsaint D7like Dwith your warning
Cleave Emalone Cyou don't beDlong here
he got nervous
started whistling
every thought a ricochet
did you notice?
well i wondered
what's the worst thing i could say?
and i froze up and sighed
you remind me of someones daughter
i forgot her
i forgot her name ashamed
go home and live with your pain
leave alone
leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong
you don't belong here
and when i go
don't you follow
leave alone
leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong
you don't belong here
slip out quiet
nobody's looking
leave alone
you don't belong here
