Capo: 3

Waltz #2 (XO) Elliott Smith Standard Tuning. I found this easy fingering and I saw Elliott play it this way in an interview. Plus, this is in standard tuning, which is always nice. If you want to play along with the recorded version, just capo the 3rd fret and this will work. Thanks to all who posted this song before me!
