Elliot Smith - Fond Farewell tabbed by: moveshhh9@gmail.com credit to: grptertius@yahoo.com for fitting the words with the chords This tab was made for beginners. I am writing this with them in mind. Tuning: 1/2 step down (E?-A?-D?-G?-B?-E?) EDIT: Changed BM to B. Also added barre chords, cause that's how Elliot plays practically every song he ever wrote. I would love if someone figured out the hammer-on's and pull-offs.
