Elliott Smith - Christian Brothers Tabbed by: Nick Verveniotis All down strums on the chords. Tuning: Whole step down. All the other tabs for this song are grossly inaccurate. Mine is 99% correct. And the reason it isn't 100% correct is because I'm using more strings in a given chord than Elliott Smith did himself. This results in a fuller sound.
