Elliot Smith - Fond Farewell tabbed by: moveshhh9@gmail.com credit to: grptertius@yahoo.com for fitting the words with the chords EDIT: Changed BM to B. Also added barre chords, cause that's how Elliot plays practically every song he's ever made. I would love if someone figured out the hammer-on's. This tab was made for beginners. I am writing this with them in mind. I know it's not exactly how he plays it. Elliott Smith almost always uses barre/ bar chords but this is a much easier way to play a fun song. If you have any way to improve this, please comment. I would love to know the hammer-ons and pull-offs that he uses. Tuning: 1/2 step down (E♭-A♭-D♭-G♭-B♭-E♭) In other words: Standard tuning, but make every note flat.
