- chords shown are the names of the chord SHAPES, the tuning makes the actual chords different.
(i.e. Em is actually Dm, Dadd4 is sounds like Cadd4, etc.) elliott smith used this tuning a lot.
- don't be put off by some of the weird chord names, this is a lot easier to play than it seems.
once you get a feel for the verse, the bridge is basically the same thing except with "bigger" chords,
and you strum the high strings during chord transitions.
- for the 7th bar in the verse, the rhythm gets a bit weird so make sure you count carefully so you
get the switch from the C(maj7)/G to the Em6/C# at the right time. the switch should be on the
4th beat, just like how it is in the rest of the verse bars.
