Elliott Smith – A Fond Farewell
I’m not going to take the honor of tabbing this song, 'cause I have actually only made
a few adjustments on other people's work. It’s just that I found it annoying that there
was no real tab out there that combined the chords with the fingerpicking. So, therefore
I combined the works of the UG members: Dires and some other unknown tabber that made the
tabs for “Guitar Pro”.

He said really I just wanna dance
Good and evil matched perfect it's a great romance
I can deal with some psychic pain
If it'll slow down my higher brain
Veins full of disappearing ink
Vomiting in the kitchen sink
Disconnecting from the missing link

This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend

It's just a fond farewell to a friend
I couldn't get things right
Fond farewell to a friend

I see you're leaving me
And taking up with the enemy
The cold comfort of the in between
A little less than a human being
A little less than a happy high
A little less than a suicide
The only things that you really tried

The Chords don't go along at all and even at 1/2 step and whole step down i can't find the right chords. I don't have a clue as to what the right chords are so i really don't have any room to talk, but it doesn't sounds right to me.
barre the second fret this person forgot to mention that i guess
I think the chords are right as long as you Capo 2
