Tuning: E A D G B E

Stickman by Elliott Smith Always strum the bass notes first. The first time you play Em6, strum the bass at E, then keep struming at Db (lowest note in the Em6 chord). I'm not really sure about the chord's names, but who cares... G: 320003 G/F#: 200033 Em6: x45400 Cmaj7: x35400 Em: 022000 D*: x57775 C*: x35553 G*: 355433 A7: x02023 A: x02220 F#m7: x422x0 C: x32010 Dadd2: x54030 Am: x02210 B7: x2120x Cmaj7*: 332000 [Intro] e|-7--7--7-7--7-7 B|-8--10-8-7--7-7 G|-7--7--9-11-9-9 D|-9--7--9-7--8-7 A|-10-9--7-9--x-x E|-x--x--x-7--9-8 G G/F# Em [Verse 1]
