Not how it's played by the band. Just a simple capoed version using cowboy chords. 4/4 time. Each chord represents 4 beats. Solo is approximate.Was this info helpful?

Really nice tab for a beginner. It's very close of a tab i found on an Elliot Smith fansite (he covered this song live few times), but your is more accurate on chord changes. However, i think this if G instead of D at the beginning of each line in the bridge. Thanks for sharing this anyway!
