Elliott Smith

Elliott Smith - Pitseleh guitar chord

Your rating:

Definitely one of my favorite songs by Elliot Smith.
It's hard to pull off if you're a beginner like me,
but if you start strumming each chord once and slowly
work your way up to three or four times, it should
sound right.  You might have to tune your guitar down
a little bit first, just under a half a step.
Here are the chords in tab form:

Intro:

   E minor         D Major

G------0-------0-------2-------2----
D------2-------2-------0-------0----    X 4
A------2-------2-------0-------0----

Then it's the same when the lyrics start for a couple measures:

   E minor         D Major         E minor         D Major          E minor

And then the whole thing repeats with these lyrics:

"I'm not what's missing from your life now
I could never be the puzzle pieces

They say that God makes problems
Just to see what you can stand

Before you do as the devil pleases
Give up the thing that you love

No one deserves it"

---piano solo, pretty much the same chords as the intro + chorus---

and then it repeats with another verse:

"The first time I saw you I knew it would never last
and I'm not half what I wish I was

I'm so angry, I don't think it'll ever pass
And I was bad news for you just because

I never meant to hurt you"
