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:
C       x32010
Am      x02210
F       xx3211
Dm      xx0231
G       355433
G7      353433

VERSE:
The chords go C Am F Dm, 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-|

   C             Am            F           Dm
e|-0---0---0-0---0---0---0-0---1---1---1---1---1-1---1-|
B|-1---1h3-3-1---1---1h3-3-1---1---1h3-3---3---3-0---3-|
G|-0---0---0-0---2---2---2-2---2---2---2---2---2-2---2-|
D|-2---2---2-2---2---2---2-2---3---3---3---0---0-0---0-|
A|-3---3---3-3---0---0---0-0---x---x---x---x---x-x---x-|
E|-x---x---x-x---x---x---x-x---x---x---x---x---x-x---x-|


Verse Rhythm:
C         Am             F                Dm             C
at a party he was waiting looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
C               Am         F                  Dm               C
like he could be underwater the mighty mother with her hundred arms
C          Am  F  Dm             C
swept all aside i hate to walk behind
C             Am       F  Dm
other people's ambition i saw you waiting

Chorus Rhythm:
G     G7   G
saint like with your warning
F     Am    F           G
leave alone you don't belong 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

Good job man. Thanks.
There is also a nice live version of this song on the Live In Stockholm record with just one guitar. Good listen for anyone wanting the solo strumming pattern, though it sounds like he's tuned a half to whole step down.
