A Fond Farewell


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”. 0:01 min: Chords playing alongside the 2. guitar: Gb barré A E Dbm Gb barré A E Dbm Gb barré A E Dbm Gb barré A 2. guitar: E -----2---2-4-----------2--/4--------2---------| B -------5------5------5------------------------| G ---3------------------------------------------| x2 D -4--------------------------------------------| A ----------------------------------------------| E ----------------------------------------------| E -4------------2---2-4-------------2--4--7-7-/9-| B ----------------5-------5-------5--------------| G ------------3----------------------------------| D ----------4------------------------------------| A -----------------------------------------------| E -----------------------------------------------| E -----2---2-4-----9---7-/4--2--0---------------| B -------5--------------------------------------| G ---3-------------9---7-/4--2--1---------------| D -4--------------------------------------------| A ----------------------------------------------| E ----------------------------------------------| E A E my thoughts now black and white Gbm Dbm they took apart a picture that wasn't right Ab barré A pitch burning on a shining sheet Gb barré A the only maker that you'd want to meet E A E dying man in a living room Gb Dbm whose shadow paces the floor Ab barré A i'll take you out any open door Chorus: Gb A this is not my life.
